Looks nice, but you can't see the bracket or how it is mounted etc. Do you have room for aftermarket rails with fittings in the front?

I hate how the Alt sits low where puddles/splashes can wet it and the power steering pump can leak on to it.

But I also hate how damn expensive all of the relocation kits are.

the stock alternator its going to be about 1/4-3/8 in longer, you might have to take some material off the valve cover-cylinder head, plus you will need a diff back cover, with an s10 alternator its a 105 amp and its a little shorter. the alignment its perfect, i love the idea of using the stock belt tensioner.
ill get more pics tonite,

I think you wight start to have belt slip issues with that setup. THe reason the tensioner is on the side it is was the fact that all the pull, load, on the belt is after the tensioner. The only real place for slack to happen is between the crank pulley and the first accessory.

Hope it works for you, but don't be to surprised if it slips.

I was originally thinking of getting a Vette bracket and modifying it with spacers.
