My neighbor's generator just isn't getting the job done and I don't think there is a high output one, so he wants to change to alternator.  But the early short water pump doesn't have the mounting boss.  He has later heads so has the holes there.  Does anyone make a mount?

The Olds came with arms about 4' long that are mounted about 6" apart at the front.  They have a rubber bushed mounting with U bolts at the rear.  However they also used to have a torque tube.  I mounted a '70 Chevelle rear so I need to prevent rotation.  I could try welding the mounts to the rear but the rubber is vulcanized, or just stuck after 65 years and I don't want to destroy it.  Is a 3rd link from the top of the rear my best option?  If so, how long, how much angle, and how to mount to rear and how high?  I haven't cut the two ears off the top yet, but they are angled.  Banks offered some way to mount a torque arm to the rear for Camaro retrofits,  I think he drilled a webbing.  Only bolt holes are rear cover.

I did one with a stick shift but have been getting questions from someone who wants to adapt an automatic and is looking for specifics like if starter cleared housing and did you run spacers between convertor and flex plate?  250 six flexplate? He'll be running a C4 with adapter.  I guess JW Superbell.
