Okay...
I am putting an electric water pump on my car and getting rid of the power steering.. I am trying to figure out how to run the belt from the crank to the alt? do I drop the alt down? how do I keep the belt from hitting the water pump pulley. I can't swing the tensioner down ( I dont think hmmm) how do or how have you seen it done. thanks! -------------------- S.F.V Motorsports

hey dan
on the underside of the front frame structure (underneath the same piece the front sway bar mounts are on) you need to weld a tab that will let you anchor your march tensioner to and be able to set tention that way. it will swing the alt. down to the bottom of the motor, keeping it away from the water pump pulley. --------------------  1985 Mustang Coupe 11.21 @ 117 ; 150 shot weight 2750, 2975 w/driver 2006 Ford F-150 2004 Yamaha YFZ 450 |

I run a serpentine belt from my crank to the alternator with no tensioner. It survives 7000+ rpm
  I have a different alternator now but the same setup. -------------------- Damon Sea

Do you have it mounted to your engine plate?
I don't have that option but that is exactly what I want to do! that lower bracket is that off an older ford vehicle? I need to determine how to get around the bolting to engine plate idea! -------------------- S.F.V Motorsports
