GMR includes them in with their twin turbo kits so imagine you could get one from them.

And that keeps power steering, fits under a stock hood, etc?

Yep, I ditched PS...but the alternator does clear the stock SS hood. I had a special situation since I have taller valve covers and it fits perfectly the way that it is now. I do need to trim a little off of the end of it to make it a little more seamless, but it is solid as hell and the belt seems to stay on.

If you don't want to keep the power steering could you use the vette alternator and bracket?

I am pretty sure that the Vette balancer is different and puts the belt in a different place...so all of the associated tensioners, etc. would need to be changed.

Ah, ok, that makes sense now. Thought maybe you'd figured out some new way to make it fit on that side w/ power steering between when I PMed you and now.

I've been told (by smokinHawk ) that there's also an issue w/ it hitting the shock tower on that side. EDIT: Too slow
