Guaging interest. The Ultimate LT1 alternator relocation bracket.
Anybody here running a piggyback style underdrive crank pulley? I'm curious to know where the crank pulley sits in relation to the swaybar with one of these bolted up.
I'm wondering if, with a piggyback style pulley, (which can be had for dirt cheap off Ebay), if that might space the crank pulley forward enough that all one would need to do is redrill the swaybar mounts to move it maybe an inch closer to the crossmember.
Then just use spacers on the bolts that hold the bracket to the block, and it will end up sitting in front of the swaybar.
Anybody willing to take some pics/do some measurements on how much offset there is between the front of the crank pulley and the swaybar?

nice work Will!!!!
price is cheap, imho! i am certain a fair bit of development went into it. for the people that think it is priced on the high side, oh well. we all have our 2 cents worth
i didn't read every post, but do you think steel threaded inserts would save time on the mfg of the pieces? and we know what can happens to aluminum threads over time.

I was actually thinking i would use unthreaded aluminum standoffs with a thru bolt and a nut on the back side. And where my bracket itself is threaded, just use a nut and bolt instead. That way the stripping would never be an issue.
What type of insert did you have in mind? Most i've seen before are made for plastics/composites.

Allowing for slight or no sway bar modifications, I believe you will have a highly marketable product. I'd loan you my car but I live in Michigan. You could send me a modified piece. I could give you a deposit on it. If it didn't work I could just send it back. If it works I'll pay you the full amount, and you will know for sure that it works.

How would you guys feel about not having a tensioner? just having a slotted alternator mount to adjust the tension? That would cut down on cost, for me and you (you wont have to buy a tensioner). I think I found a way to make it all work, keeping the bar, but with no tensioner.
Alright guys, I need some pictures and measurements from some people who want to retain the swaybar.
Pictures with both the crank pulley and its relation to the swaybar.
Measurments of the location of the swaybar from the bottom of the crank pulley, and location front/rear of the swaybar to the face of the crank pulley.
I think ive got it figured out...

Now thats what I'm talking about. I can try to get some measurements but it may take awhile for me to get time to get my car jacked up and find a camera I can use for pictures. Hopefully someone will be able to get to it before me.
i really wish we could relocate my alt down low... but the drivers side is cluttered with pipes... and the pass side has a pipe running right behind the a/c delete pulley...
I dont think it is possible

Plus I was waiting on pictures of a stock car with some measurements.
I say people should just ditch the swaybar though...

I'm very interested in this. I would like to get the engine bay in my SS cleaned up and I think relocating the altenator will be a great help visually. It is just a daily driver though, is it worth doing?
