That's one way to look at it. Not necessarily the correct way though...

On the Corvette LT1 Engine the Bracket I am looking for is the one the AC Compressor, PS Pump. and Alternator mounts to.It is on the drivers side while the Camaro bracket is on the passenger side.

I about died when the guysaid it would buff out...lol

Then your beer lather produced a chuckle as well.

The straigh 4 bolts on LT1s are actually stronger than the splayed caps on LT1s , but I would add some stronger material caps.

Mindgame went the all vertical 4 bolt route on his motor for this reason.

This motor comes complete. Wouldnt it already have stronger material caps?

Unless youre needing a rebuild on the motor the stock nodular Iron caps will be fine. If you ever want to build a beast out of it in the future at that time I would replace the nocular Iron caps with some higher strength steel ones and have it line honed.
