Engine Bracket Identification

Hi all, found a weird engine bracket in a pile of Bronco stuff. Is this Bronco related? Maybe a setup for an AC compressor?

Ha, I think mine had that when it was a 351 block. I would say it's worth it's weight in metal.

Thanks, into the garbage it goes.

That tensioner is typically for an A/C compressor. The compressor is rigidly mounted to the engine and that is used to change belts and set tension.
