Do these brackets work with my current water pump and alternator setup?

These are engineered for the long water pump design on big-block applications. Double-check your pump snout length and alternator mounting configuration before ordering to confirm fit.

Will I need fasteners to mount these brackets?

Hardware for bracket attachment is not included in this set. You'll need to source bolts and fasteners that match your engine block's threaded holes or use the original hardware from your setup.

Can I paint these aluminum brackets?

Aluminum can be painted after light surface prep—degreasing and light sanding will give paint better bite. These ship raw, so any finish is your choice based on your engine bay aesthetic.
