Thumbs up Free LT1 low mount alternator Kit

I have been making these LT1 Low Mount Alternator Kits for V8 RX-7's for quite some time now, there are currently about 15 in use, and am looking to start selling them for Fbody applications. The only problem is, I do don't know if it will fit properly.. I don't know why it shouldn't but I need to make sure there are no clearance issues. So I am looking for one "guinea pig" that I can send a kit to, free of charge to install and keep. Benefits of using this kit will put the alternator down low to clean up the engine bay and also it will delete the power steering and AC reducing weight by 50+ lbs and freeing up a noticable amount of horsepower. Perfect for drag race applications. Requirements for the lucky person include:

1. Must install on a '93-97 LT1 F-body Vehicle
2. Must install within 2 weeks
3. Must provide feedback on fitment and take a few digital pictures

As soon as the design is proven out, I will begin selling these kits for $80, which includes shipping. So if anyone's interested keep that in mind. I have attached a few pictures, the belt is hand tensioned. If your interested in the free kit, please post or PM me the vehicle it will be installed on along with how soon you think you would do the install job. thanks.

Installation of this kit requires you to remove A/C and PS right?
(IE: You couldn't install it this way for the track and move it back for DD once the season is over?)

I wonder if there is a way to take something like that, and add it on to the Factory Accessory Bracket so you can keep the Power Steering..
That's tomorrow's project.

That would be key. I don't mind lack of A/C, but PS is a must. Keep us posted if you accomplish this.

I've looked at these before, but I will not part with my power steering.
If you get it to work with the power steering Post it

Default Bracket

Was wondering how I could get one of your alternator low mount brackets. The motor is out of a 96 trans am will the original harmonic balancer work with your bracket.

I am sure the OP is still around, very likely he has some just waiting 8 or so years for you to ask!

I wonder how some of you would do in libraries? Being this threads is now just wrapping up second grade with a year book filled with "have a great summer" aka "Hags"signatures. Possibly pondering the challenges that await it in third grade. I am going to go ahead and close this thread as I doubt the OP has awaited 8 years, the end of the Iraq war, the first black president and private space flight to find a worthy applicant that can meet a two week time frame or possibly awaiting the development of sharper digital pictures for accuracy.
