[robdog98]

Anyone have and drawings for fabricating and Alternator mount for a Ford 2.3 ?
Can't seem to locate anything on the net.

I found a cast mount off of an old courier, but I'd like to build something significantly lighter too.

A Merkur air condition mount works great, and puts the alternator on the passenger side. Bolts right up to the block.

Not quite sure why you'd want to add any weight to the right front of a mustang.....

What year Merkur?

not sure where you are from but here in northern california there are not very many merkurs around although i have worked on some. the pictures that car62 showed are about the best i have seen. i run a small single wire alt on my pinto using a modified stock alt mount and wouldn't run without one again. the mount car62 shows looks nice and i will make one like that for my mustang.

Olin,you have to use a small diameter waterpump pulley,the 7" Esslinger wont clear,the one we used at the time was from raceeng,the new setup we are using the super light serpentine setup from cheaphp.com http://www.needhp.com/ford23serpenti...pulleykit.aspx
