this is a slick setup and I have been eyeing for some time..
I finally bit the bullet and opened my wallet instead of spending the next
6 months trying to reinvent the wheel.

my old setup with double belts and GM power pulleys had lots of problems
btw that is a B & M lower alternator mount

With only a few clearance issues, removing my old setup and losely installing,
removeing and making the simple changes to the engine and chassis, this took
me about 2 hrs and 3 beers



rounding off the lower mount surface to allow the alternator to swing properly



marking and beginning the cuts to the K member to get the alternator
to get low enough to install the belt



test fit before adding the Ac compressor


a different angle

that works to your handleing advantage as well, putting the weight low and closer to the middle.

off topic, whats the advantage of s10 calipers?

Looks great, but now you have a lot of painting and polishing to do.

Looks good! I am glad to see someone working on their 4.3's this week... work has been insane for me this week.

Just for research purposes, what is the distance from the face of the block (like waterpump mounting flange) to the outside edge of the belt?
