help! i've swapped a 400 into a 74 and can't find any good pictures or views of the brackets and mounting. my project was a basket case and i've got parts from both la and r motors. any suggestions?

I will see if I can find some pictures if that is what you are looking for.

thanks, that would be helpful. my block is a 73.

I have had a good look but can't find any photos or drawings. Sorry.

Fix the bracket to the steering pump.

There is a part of the water pump housing that has a hole right through it to the back. The top of the bracket slips over this part of the water pump housing and a long bolt goes through the front of the bracket, through the water pump casting, and into a captive nut on the back of the bracket.

There are other fixing points that become obvious once that part is in place.

Just remember the SB bracket won't fit.

i've got single plane style brackets, nothing that you have described, i.e. bracket with a front and a back. have made these work, but i'm sure it might be unorthodox, if not incorrect.
i have several manuals, but none really show the bracketing.

Better get yourself down to the junkyards and see what big block mopars they have.
