Belt routing for water pump as the only accessory? I have a Ford 9" in the Panoz and realized the 3rd member yolk has a pulley on it to drive a diff cooler or alternator. The battery is already in the rear about 2' from the rear axle so I'm going to go with this setup:
This leaves the water pump as the only accessory on the front of the engine (manual steering). Anyone have a setup like this? Curious how people mounted their tensioner/idlers etc. etc. Also, this is a road race car so an EWP isn't an option.
Thanks,
Brian

Turns out another Panoz guy already figured it out. At first I would have thought this wasn't enough belt wrap on the water pump, but he's been racing it for a couple of years like this.
