I am trying to get some ideas for my Chevelle. I am not running anything but the water pump and standard size alternator. I would love to have it on the passenger side and use it as the belt tentioner. I am running Corvette balancer and pump so it is close to the block. Give me some ideas!

Using an 85 amp denso alt out of an import. It is a good bit smaller than the delco unit. Bracket is just 1/8" mild steel and some 3/8" pipe for spacers. No problems with belt wrap, everything works. Corvette accesories.

the alternator is off 90s tpi fbodies. the tensioner is a heim link mechanical tensioning system.
zone89rs also uses a idler bracket setup for improved wp. belt tracking and traction.
hes turning upwards of 7000rpm without any issues.
these will not work with a corvette crank pulley, but will work with the car wp if the pulley is pulled off the shaft around .500

These are the only pics I have of my setup. I drilled and tapped the block and the top of the alt. mounts there. I had a BMR bracket laying around and used that on the lower bolt so I had some adjustability.
