Default LQ4 S10, LSX S10ers welcome.

Hey guys I've been thinking of a lil project for my 82 S10. I have a 6.0 @ home & wanna do a lil budget build with it. One issue I have is bracketry. My truck has no power anything, so essentially I just need something that will allow me to run my alternator & that's it. What do you guys suggest.

Make some. Mount the alternator to the drivers side cylinder head. Then you will have every mounting position needed to keep tension on the belt.

yeah , I guess I could try to make something. That type of thing isn't exactly my specialty but I can try. Anybody got some pics of something they've done. I know some companies offer the kit that places the alternator down low but I fear frame clearence issues with that.

I have an 82 I am just finishing up with unless you switch to a rack n pinion steering set up the easiest is the corvette bracket and it looks decent to.
