v6 to v8 problem

hey all you camaro fans.. for 1 i got a bet with a stock acura integra with .... VTEC.. ROFL.. against my 355 completly NOT STOCK 355 85 camaro.. only problem is.. the engine right now.. i got a major problem.. i got a weiand electric water pump.. and it sticks out pretty far.. if i put the alternator in the right spot i cant get the belt on because of the pump.. BUT i have found a way to modify it so it sits out to the side and down farther.. is there a better way around this or should this be fine and not have many problems with it?? i could get a pic of it and show you what i mean if you want one.. thanks

Keith

As long as it's secure it shouldn't be a problem. If you're moving it farther out then you should DEFINITELY have a bracket supporting the back of the alternator, to take some strain off the shaft bearings.

Integra's are 4 bangers 140 is about right though....If it's a six then it's definitely not stock, but I still don't think it'll be a problem.
