    @sawmill , the very rare support brackets that I've seen on 3406E/ c15 is a flat plate that bolts on the bottom plate of the compressor. Then has angle that drops down to bolt to the side of the block. Its wasnt on anything Paccar. Seems like it was a western star, but I cant remember for sure. C12 did use a common bracket.

    The C15 ACERT did have a more common bracket on the back of the BA-921 that uses the rear studs as a mounting location.

    I bet you could fab one no problem for that Tu-Flo 550.

    Sawmill, you might look on Catparts.com. They have a support listed for C 15/C16 truck engines. It is part # 160-1658. It is more than just a bracket though.

    These LS motors make power so easy too and can handle it with a good tune. (Whoever did this tune did a good job on it) I actually have a brand new 76/65 turbo that came with it, but it’s too small for this motor. I don’t want to swap out the exhaust side, I might just give it to my brother, I’m sure he’s got a motor he can put in on,LOL.

    I’m gonna swap heads and cam, put a 150 shot on this one and cross my fingers:thumbup:

    Before you have kids, you never anticipate things you will hear one day. My kids are in this princess tent, my oldest put about 15 rolls of toilet paper in it. Of course, when they are both in it they have to fight. Amongst the screaming and hitting I heard “she won’t stop messing with me and I’m trying to play with the toilet paper!!!!”

    @Oxbow , I just looked up that bracket you posted. It looks very similar to the one that fits a tuflo 1400 on a 3406E. I'm wondering if the one you posted is a superseded number or if it fits the BA922 compressor on a C15/C16. I wish it told more about it on there.

    Heres what I found in one of my parts books
