Hi Dex,

Hm, on my 68 there is only one bracket. The bigger one in your picture. The pump just fits in the bracket and the bracket gets bolted to the engine basically the same way it sits on the floor now. So you cylinder head surface would be the concrete floor.

Best regards,
Nicolas

68 brackets had an early & late version.

John,
If for whatever reason you want to see what the one piece bracket looks like I've attached a couple of shots.

You realize if you install that, that, that....thing, you will have points deducted at the GN.   

Wow, that's a nice looking motor!!

Dex,
The brackets you show are early 68 style. They will work, but I'd suggest the later style one piece.
Nicolas,
Take a look at page 9-1 in your 68 shop manual.

Lol thanks Chris! Bob im going to the antique yard Saturday to see if i can find one. Id rather one peace than two for looks purposes.... unless some can tell me a logical reason why the two peace is better?

Wow, that's a nice looking motor!

Wow, is RIGHT! Awesome job! Please post some pictures when you get it installed. Would love to hear it running......I'm a little worried about the Harbor Freight Engine stand that it's mounted on. I would've used the 2000 lb. Red one or a Truck Stand. I didn't trust the Flatheads on them, even though it's the mid-grade stand. Good Luck!

They have the big yard for newer cars. But off to the left when you first drive in there is a different yard with a sign saying antique yard.

Bobby it started to bend. i built another test stand like i did for the flathead just haven't had time to swap it over. The blower was just sat up there for picture im waiting on a spacer. Plus oil pan is heavy. Have to put on test stand before adding any more weight.
