Alternator Bracket Setup, Modified March Bracket, Etc?
« on: March 14, 2010, 05:29:51 AM »

Looking for an alternator bracket setup that would move the alt over as close to the thermostat housing as possible.  Running a Hellion kit on the car that uses the big ugly Vortech bracket and I'm looking to get rid of it.  Wanting to remove the A/C compressor as well, so I'll just use the normal P/S Delete bracket there.

Anyone have any ideas on a alternator bracket that would work or how one could modify a March bracket to pull the alt over further?  

Here is the new Hellion intercooler piping, instead of the huge stuff they sent that pushed against the fan and looked odd:


Here is an overhead shot that kind of shows where everything is located and shows where I need the alt to be roughly:


-Edit-
Another one that shows intercooler piping and needed alt location(Also note the homemade fuel rails Two Thumbs Up! ) :




Anyone have any suggestions?

I've got a moroso bracket and it moves the alt to driver side head. It wasn't to brutal on cost. Here is a pic.

get the bracket from a mid 80's-91 Crown Vic, Marquis, Lincoln, etc.  it has the alternator and PS pump on the same bracket on the drivers side.  They run a standard rotation waterpump, maybe you could do something different with belt routing to retain your current water pump and pullies.

Looks like the March bracket would work without changing it.

I'd really like to have the March bracket but I'd hate to buy one and it not fit.

The shitty thing about it is I had one before and sold it because "I figured I'd never use it".  Stupid.

Here is a pic of how the car is coming along though, looking good besides that big ugly A/C compressor and the Vortech bracket:

It'll be dang close but I think I could at least modify it to work.  I'm looking for a used one so I don't have too much money involved in case it doesn't work.  I bought an A/C delete though!
