For those of you that have had to relocate your alternator, what bracket did you use and where did you get it? I thought someone made a kit, but I can't find it. Thanks.

relocate our alternators????? For what????? I think that i am the only person here who has relocated the alternator and that was because of my whole custom bracketry for the ATI and removal of the A/C

You can swap over to the F-body accessories

Because on my new engine, I will be using an LS2 Corvette intake manifold which lowers everything a few inches. Stock bracket won't work anymore.

o you would just have to switch to all the f body accesories like Golden Said

I don't know how different the LS2 intake is around the TB area compared to the LS6 but, you should be able to just cut a little of the side of the alt bracket for clearance. That's what everyone else has done that has switched over to a car intake.

Another run at the top....

I saw a bracket on ebay to do this by like moving the idler pulley and using a new belt size was all.

Possibly all you need?

I wish that would work for me, but I am not running a power steering pump so the belt would likely hit the relocated idler on its way down to the crank pulley.

Thanks anyway though dude.

PM me if you want me to try making a shorter belt to elimate the powersteering I was thinking of doing that anyway so I can run in the new engine and than worry about maiking up new hoses


I cut off the idler bracket cast to the alt/power steering bracket pretty much where the new throttle body will be! And I made a new idler bracket and extended the belt with vise grips and a lenght of a saprentine belt, hope to match up the right size tomorrow.

I am wondering if the GTO fuel rail covers I want to get will be in the way of the altenator... which would kinda suck after all this work, making a custom bracket.. just to go ahead and get the car acessory brackets anyway!
