Last Conversion I did with a Chev 305 I bought one of these low mounts and could not use any of it made one from scratch and used a tiny Jap alternator and gilmer drive  You can get a mount that fits off the exhaust bolts and takes a Holden type Alternator send me your email address and I will send you a shot to post if interested as I have one here  ......FC427......

G'day John, I also wanted my alternator down low out of the way & after trying a few types l ended up making my own out of 10mm alloy plate.( & various other bits) Lot of work, but eventually worth it. I later found out there is one out for street rods with Chevs, but l had already finished mine (of course) so l never pursued it any further. ;)  Daz.

Not sure to be honest Ben, my first guess would be try the bigger speed shops like American Auto Parts, Rocket or V.P.W. being a Chev part l would guess it would be  imported from the states & probably not made here. Daz.
