Default How To Mount Accessories Low & Turn an Intake Around?

I am looking to shoe-horn an LSx into a mid-engine car and need to keep the Alternator and A/C Compressor LOW!

Anyone have an idea on how to do this… that can post a DIY? I am trying to keep the center of gravity low but using a LQ4 - which all the alternator is almost through the roof! I KNOW I will need to employ a Camaro-style balancer, past that am open to suggestions.



Also, looking to turn around the LS6-style intake, any DIYs out there for this?

Thanks in advance!

The answer is so simple you'll feel dumb for asking: F-body accessories and just bolt the intake on backward.

Yep. F-body accessories mount the alternator low.
