[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

Ok I am almost done with my kachina. I am getting ready to mount my alt. Can some of you guys post some pics of your setups. I just want a few ideas.I am tired of the plain jane look, so I am going with a more upto date look;) Oh and I am not going off the driveshaft so no need to waste time posting pics of that kind of setup;)

The "trick" way to do it is with the Rex Marine mount that lets the alternator drive off the harmonic balancer with a spider coupler. The only drawback is if you have a rear seat right in front of the engine. Not only a super nice looking unit, it also slows down alternator speed. I actually run that setup in my street rod, in conjunction with an electric water pump, so that I have no v-belts or pulleys whatsoever.

I have the old style motor mount plate, so I had to mount the alt farther from the engine block. This set up is simple, the belt has never come off.
