Looking for some other ideas on using a alternator with my BBC using a motor plate, kinda short on room in front as for a mandrel.

1320 Ed what year firebird is that????

2002 body

Couldn't low mount it so I fabricated a mount and installed it backwards. Alternator belt is the first one on the mandrel.

Try going to the Powermaster web site. They have a large selection of nice alternator mounts with drawings and dimensions. I did not have much room on my Altered and they had a bracket that fit down on drivers side under my front motor plate. It is tight but was able to use their measurements and verify it would work before I bought it.

Take a look at RPD website.....he makes some of the nicest brackets to mount anything to the front of a BBC......you won't be disappointed....Howie

Thanks Ed......
