Close...
It is March "style" brackets. They're about $100 I believe, on eBay or any of the parts places, for both brackets. I modified the alternator side be trimming the turnbuckle to mount the alt upside down.
Pulleys themselves are the typical aluminum underdrive set.
Quite simple and quite affordable. They are the same spacing as a Fox body, but the is room with my relocated rad.

Some updated pics...
