For those of you who have converted your pulley system to a serpentine belt system, how did you mount the alternator? Did you use the old brackets? I'm trying to use the March pulleys along with their alternator brackets and tension bar. I just can't get it all to work unless I put a bolt low...

Hey guys, I got my engine back together... well mostly anyway. Anyway I wanted to let everyone know that the aluminum Cobra oil pan will not work with a II. That was quite an ordeal for me to try it (jack the engine, disconnect the sway bar and crossmember, remove the rack, starter, oil pan...
