I am changing over to electric water pump and electric rad fans. I want to keep my alternator. There is not enough room to mount a low mount alternator on the drivers side between the balancer and the steering box. The idler arm and rad hose is in the way on the passenger side. I am looking for alternative ideas. Pics would be helpful.

I used a simple setup

I used a 3/4 inch steel spacer bolted it to the head and had to cut a small notch at the top of the lower hose where it goes onto the pump to clear the belt Ill take better pics when I get a chance and show you all the details up close.

I am doing the same thing and you need to get a mid mount kit. The guys on here enlightened me on http://www.alangrovecomponents.com That where I just got my mid mount for the electric water pump #236R-$55.00
There was a post where guys sent pics of their engine and it had lots of pics
with the same set ups but I havent been able to find it. Maybe somebody will pull it
up.
