Default Alternator Relocation

I need to move my Alt. to clear some piping going to the intake. ECS you have to delete you AC(Idk if I wanna do that yet)

Does anyone know of something else that will mount the alt. below intake height to run the cold side headers.If someone even could make me one hell Ill pay em lol.

The only thing close to what I want is from spdkilz.com and Im sure he's is/was a member here and faintly remember seeing a post from him.



The lower the better.References would be very much appreciated

Thanks all!

That kit looks like the alternator is the tensioner too now? I dont know if Id care for that. What if you replaced the alternator with a smaller frame, like a mini alternator?
