Got it dropped in tonight! But I am having technical difficulties with the motor mounts though. I have those energy supension mounts that fit into the original clam style mounts. I can not get them lined up were I can get the long bolt through! Is there a trick to them? I think I may have to pull it back out and loosen the mounts to line them up! That will stink!!!! Maybe a smaller bolt would go through? Any ideas........

Alt brackets look similar to mine. Did you get them on ebay? I didnt have a problem with mine. How much does it hit? Can you shave the bracket to clear the pully?

The bracket is made by March bought it from Jegs. Pulleys are of Ebay but from a good reputable guy Whiteperformance...... I guess I could shave the alt bracket but it will be quite a bite off there!? Dont want to skrew the crome up either!
