I really like the compact type II or similar pump on our engines. Its reservoir is one of the best looking over all. Clean and simple. As for alternator... someone who used the Sanden bracket, mounted their SI alternator on the top lower mounting boss. Which allowed for more clearces. I think they had to use a long spacer with arm to mount the bottom tab with. Though you may find your clearances just enough to live with. Just info on various other methods that can be done. The Sanden bracket has it's value, in how it cleans up space for various options. The bracket for the GM II pump is a Control Freak product. It bolts right up. Pretty sweet. I would have to see that alternator mounted off the Sanden bracket. With the heater hose coming out in that general area I can't visualize how the alternator would clear it. Not that I doubt that it could be done, I just can't picture it.

Can't remember who, its been some time, but a member had built up an engine setup like yours, that did something that used late model alternator brackets, but minimized some of how it's mounted. I did my own custom version, with just enough clearance for heater hose to be replaced. Tight just a wee bit for custom, but doable. Never got to see deeper on his routing, as it was a small image of engine out of car. I may have posted a link in one of my threads... if I find it, I will show the picture. I think it was one of Rebel Machine's engines, or shootist builds. Been over a year at least 2 years now.

Thanks for the link. Basically it is just the stock Jeep brackets.

Thanks Buster. Any plans to attend some AMC functions out our way this year?
