Ford Small Block 5.8 L (351W) Alternator Bracket - Polished

• Billet aluminum bracket for a clean, rigid alternator mount

• Polished finish for a polished, complete engine-bay look

• Fits Ford 351W (Windsor) small block V8 only — not 351C/351M

• Upper & lower bracket, passenger side, hardware included

This polished billet aluminum alternator bracket is designed for Ford small block Windsor (351W) V8 applications that need a clean, rigid alternator mounting solution. It positions a Ford 1G-style alternator correctly on the passenger side, with the lower bracket mounting to the water pump, while improving the finished look and serviceability of the engine bay.

This bracket fits the Ford 5.8L (351 in³) Windsor engine specifically. It does not fit the 351C (Cleveland) or 351M (Modified) — these are different, non-interchangeable engine families despite sharing the "351" displacement number. Confirm your engine is a Windsor (six-bolt valve covers, external timing chain cover) before ordering.

Billet aluminum construction is built to handle normal engine vibration, accessory load, and repeated service use. This is an upper and lower bracket set, configured for passenger side placement, with mounting hardware included.

Applications
Fits the Ford small block Windsor (5.8L/351W) V8. Common on Ford Mustang (primarily pre-1970 and 1994-1995 5.8L applications — note that 1970-1973 Mustangs commonly used the 351C instead), Ford Falcon/Fairlane, Ford Bronco (1979-1996), and Ford F-Series trucks (1987-1997).

Engine ID Note
Not for 351C (Cleveland) or 351M (Modified) — confirm your engine is Windsor (six-bolt valve covers, external timing chain cover) before ordering, since these three engines share the "351" number but are not interchangeable.

Does this bracket fit a 351 Cleveland or 351 Modified engine?
No. Although they share the 351 displacement, the 351 Cleveland (351C) and 351 Modified (351M) are different engine families. This bracket is designed specifically for the 351 Windsor (351W).

How do I know if my engine is a Windsor?
The 351 Windsor uses six-bolt valve covers and an external timing chain cover, distinguishing it from the 351 Cleveland and 351 Modified engines.

Does this fit my 1972 Mustang?
Verify which engine your Mustang has before ordering. Many 1970–1973 Mustangs were equipped with the 351 Cleveland, so this bracket will fit only if your vehicle has a 351 Windsor.

Is this the chrome or polished version?
This listing is the polished-finish version. A polished version of this bracket may be available as a separate listing.

What alternator style does this bracket support?
This bracket is designed for a Ford 1G alternator.

Does this include mounting hardware?
Yes. Mounting hardware is included with this bracket set.
