4.3L Accessary brackets

[Kory Fox]

I have a 1989 GMC Sierra 1500 2wheel drive 4.3L. I'm putting it back together after replacing head gaskets. Having trouble figuring out how the brackets for the accessories on the front of the motor go back together. Is there a manual that has some detailed pictures. My Haynes manual has very little. What it does have are mostly pictures of 5.0 or 5.7's.

Thanks,
Kory

i would go off the pictures of the 5.0 and 5.7 because a 4.3 is a 5.7 with 2 cylinders missing. basically the engine would look the same if you looked at it from the front and it would be only 3/4 as long as the v-8's from the side

I've all ready tried that. The pictures of those motors don't show much either. I even tried local junk yards. Noone has one close enough to the right year. They have 4.3's that are newer and the bracket setups are alot different.
