no good.. top mount is in place of engine mount and pulley is a v belt wide one so also no good

easier just to put it on the back :lol:

good thinking bat man. it needs to be lower down on the power steering mounts. that v belt can be changed thats just what was on engine so alternator had new pully to match. this engine is in mini so it dont need that mounts

also doesn't appear to be any adjustmant for the tension (unless it's underneath).

its underneath on a curved bracket that makes the alternator swing in and out creatin tension similar to a nova one
