Do I need any additional hardware to mount this bracket?

The bracket mounts at factory attachment points on your engine block and frame. You'll need Grade 8 bolts matching your block's factory specs — have those on hand before installation.

Will this alternator work with my existing serpentine belt setup?

Test-fit the pulley diameter against your current belt and accessory arrangement. If you're running an older V-belt system, you may need a new belt or adapter — bracket design accommodates both but doesn't include belts.

What if the bracket doesn't clear my intake manifold?

This bracket is engineered for factory 5.0 intake layouts. If you're running a non-OEM manifold, verify clearance before final installation — some aftermarket intakes sit higher and may require spacers or bracket shimming.
