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

Nothing fancy. I can mount it puuuurdy when I mount it. Then I dont have to do it a second time

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.
