I've been around and around trying to figure a way to relocate the alternator. All of this due to the interference with the power steering box in my 1971 Land Rover/Defender 90 chassis hybrid. After looking into many options, (complete factory Corvette setups, March, S&P, Turbo Technology, etc) I've decided that the cost are too prohibitive. It would be nice to use this stuff but I don't want to finance a kid's college education except my own. I'm now in the process of fabricating a bracket assembly that places the alternator just inches above centerline with the MAF and nearly straight above the tensioner pulley. I'll relocate the tensioner to the stock f-body alternator location. This should provide adequate room for the ps box and apply proper tension to the belt. Alternately, I will also look at keeping the tensioner in it's approximate location below the alternator like that used by Turbo Technology. The bigger issue is keeping the EGR for pre 2001 LS1s using it. That should be doable, as well. Once I've come up with a viable and reliable setup, I'll see about producing these for the conversion market. Lastly, I'll try to keep the cost down so the average joe can play too. Pictures will be coming.

Maybe you've thought of this but did you try the truck brackets. I used the bracket on my 2nd gen. It costs 80 bucks and moves the alternator up a lot.

Hope it is of some help.
