I think the best route would be to mount the p/s pump down low and the alternator up high. Then run the alternator off of the power steering pump with a dual groove pulley. A few problems with this route would be 1, higher cost as you would need two brackets and 2, it probably wouldn't be usable with a generator.
I enjoyed designing and coming up with the p/s pump bracket and alternator bracket that I will be using on my 235 so maybe I will come up with a couple different versions.
Heres what I need some help with if anyone can. I need some measurements. This is for the later 235's. I need to know
1. the distance from center to center of the gen/alt mounting holes on the side of the block and what size they are
2. the distance from the center of the first mounting gen/alt mounting hole to the face of the block
3. the width of the crank pulley. not the whole assembly just the pulley itself. (width of the belt plus the edge on each side)
4. the distance from the center of the crank pulley to the face of the block
*****3 and 4 can also be the water pump pulley*******
5. the diameter of the crank pulley
6. the width of the face of the block
7. the distance from center to center of the two front head bolts on the drivers side, and the size of the head bolts
8. the distance from the center of the first head bolt on the drivers side to the face of the block (probably should be from the same point as in 4
9. the distance from the center of either of the first two head bolts to the outer edge of the intake manifold
thanks
