    So to explain----------engine is so low that you need to put runners under the pan rails to protect oil pan---------crank pulley is now so low that got to use smaller diameter
    accessories(alternator) is so low interfers with steering so so midget alter mounted more forward on 2 bolts on bracket that will bend/lean/warp? because its not strong enough to keep belt tension to pull waterpump and a fan plus a 90 amp alternator-use a trople groove pulley for belt alighnment but only use forward most groove?

    If this deal used one of the slotted mount pumps (nascar) from a few years ago, the belt tension could be set by adjusting height of the pump to tighten belt and alternator could be driven from belt just between h2o pump and alter.

    accessories(alternator) is so low interfers with steering so so midget Also wrong: over an inch to spare all the way around alter mounted more forward on 2 bolts on bracket that will bend/lean/warp? Not an engineer but hoping your wrong here too but if not I will redesign it so you could pull the engine with that bracket (problem solved) because its not strong enough to keep belt tension to pull waterpump and a fan plus a 90 amp 40 amp kabota but I will cut you some slack there cant really tell amps by just looking at it alternator-use a trople groove pulley for belt alighnment but only use forward most groove? wrong there too: used a 3 groove pulley not for alignment but because A) I had one already and B) 3rd groove may be used for AC in the future. Also I didn't use the forward groove but the middle groove.

    If this deal used one of the slotted mount pumps (nascar) personally I despise anything NASCAR...anything from a few years ago, the belt tension could be set by adjusting height of the pump to tighten belt and alternator could be driven from belt just between h2o pump and alter.By all means share some insight and pictures of this setup.
    All due respect. Not being an ass just trying to answer your observations as best I can in the order received. any other concerns don't hesitate ask more questions I'd be happy to answer them as best I can.
