alternator relocation
Has anyone relocated the alternator to the lower drivers side area....like the F-body?
I am building a twin turbo and am trying to relocate my alternator to the drivers side lower area. I have a "mini" alternator which was supplied by Pro turbo kits.
Reasons why I cannot put alternator in upper passenger side are as PTK recommends.
1. Have converted to a cable throttle body....hits lever. Using Evans water pump with smaller pulley...so belt rides on water pump fitting.
I am also using tall Katech valve covers...so they is no room for rotation. Alternator plug is also inline with my custom fuel rails....
I cannot use a F-body bracket because the balancers are located at different depths....
Please post pictures, ideas, links to brackets etc.
Any input would be helpful.....
Thanks Tom

Wont fit down there with the steering box Tom. Believe me I know. Doesn't matter how small the alt is, there is not enough room. You have seen my setup in the other forum im sure. Most are running the alt on top on the passenger side but I think you are like me...... it just does not look that good.
