Make the pump and ALTERNATOR <- DAMN KIDS mount high enough to clear the top of the crank pulley so the belt will wrap around all the pulleys enough to not slip and a SC type tensioner pressing downward on the belt.

We should be able to mock up a mounting plate and have Antz cut one out with his CNC machine!

Option 2: relocate the Alt and rig up an electric PSP pump from an old Feiro??

Lets do it! BTW, I alreay know of a place that makes a bracket to mount the ALTERNATOR on the other side down low. I'll look for the link when I get home.

Madman mounts it down low, but I think his bracket is well over $150. I say screw paying for it. Mock the $hit up like you want it and build it.

And I don't really feel that $400 mount cleans up the engine bay. Well, at least not to my liking.

Been doing a little research. LT1 PSP spins counter clockwise and is not a grooved+lipped pulley, could be an issue since relocating it so where the AC is means it would be spinning backwards. Might be better off just swapping to LSx or simular pump that spins clockwise.

Although a tensioner is nice, it would probably be easier to just go old~school and build a mount so that the Alt. has a pivot to set the belt tension? Or somehow spring load the alternator?

I still think would be a cooler way to go!

Above unit isn't cheap, I just found that one as an example. I know there was 1-2 companies at SEMA a few years back selling Elec pumps for street rods. There are probably allot of others as well that can be adapted. The power steering pump said to consume 3% of a small engines power. The guys playing with fuel economy are reporting at a steady speed a 1.8 liter engine will gain 3 MPG with the PS belt removed.

LOOK Harold! FREE HPs!!!!

You're f'n 'a right you are!!! I guess I should've told you that when you decided to buy it. Any other color than black on a black car just doesn't look right. I'll paint the rims black for you before you come and get the car

roflmao...

uh, yeah.
Even my ULTRA-NATOR is powdered coated black.

Now Projectz28, he's red on a red car.

It's important to stick to this scheme so when we have one of those "swap meets', we all know what part will work on what car more easy.

Harold might be a little confused when he gets the car, though. See the previous owner had red SFCs put on it. In addition, there's some remnants of a red Granatelli TA. When I was confused I painted the brackets for the front sway bar red. Since then it's been all black. I had the front cover and accessory cover powdercoated black. In addition, the rear housing was done black, too.

The bottom line is that black cars are just badass. Every other car sees them coming and cries like a little bitch because they're intimidated by the shear aura of evil a black car presents. That's why their owners have to mod them. They have to create bite just to keep up w/ a black car's bark.
