Here is the fabricated alternator mounting to go with the ATI damper. I have a new respect for automotive engineers. I have more time, wire, and grinder wheels in these to simple pieces of metal than in my firewall or my motor mounts. There's whole bunch of gusseting and boxing underneath that simple piece of steel. Getting an alternator to sit level under belt tension requires some finesse. I really doubt myself when I get my butt kicked by something like this. But, when everbody else looks at it and doesn't even notice how not stock it is, it'll all be worth it.
Please note the engine doesn't sit that far forward. I've got it out so I can get to the pushrod holes for #6. Engine setback, what a great idea! My next car is going to be a t-bucket.
