Bye bye top mount alt!

After many trips to and from the parts store, finally got a belt to work.

Props to Adam for the bracket creation, still a work in progress, but only requires !AC and nothing else.

Video from phone, so pardon the sound quality.

Yup, kinda stuck on the heater hoses cause the one is the top bleeder valve, and its kinda important...

Power steering is, again another one of those things I can't move cause the tank needs to be higher than the pump...

I will figure it out in due time.

Since when did race cars need power steering??

Looks so much cleaner with the alternator out of the way.

cleans up and frees up the engine bay. allows for easy removal of valve covers along with the option to run pretty sbc covers. some people get it, some dont

Good idea moving that ballast lower in the car...more stable in unpredictable wake zones.

Yeah, it would be nice if they just mounted it on the hood and painted it red and green.
