I finished my alternator bracket except for the right bolts. The damper that is in the pictures is a slip fit mock up damper. This is the SFI damper that BHJ made me that I clearanced the bracket for. The alternator is about 1 1/2" further forward than stock. It is very strong. I came out pretty good for a guy just winging it. Thank you for your time.

Thanks. Here is a better picture of how it works. I don't know what those holes in the block are for but they sure are handy. I will probably use the ones in the same place on the other side to mount the oil pump. That is a Mechman custom built alternator and the round part where the bolt goes through was amazingly round and consistent so I bored the hole a few thousand's bigger and it is really rigid side to side even without being tightened down.

Watch out for careful drivers!!! I'm away on an ego trip. Will be back on Feb 30. I'm not an Auto Mechanic, but I play one on TV. I charge $0.02 for every opinion and I take Paypal. Plan B is always better than plan A, by definition. You can't teach a new dog old tricks.

My door is always open. When I get it done maybe we could meet at a vintage drag event and I'll let you drive it if you want to. I will be able to tailor the power output to the track with these strange things called a clutch and gas pedal. I want to be fully involved in the driving process. I know I could save a couple of tenths with an automatic and a two step but that's just not for me. To each their own.
I'll bring a lawn chair and cooler just say when!!!
