EG - I like the alternator idea, but I drive the wheels off my cars and I like things that are easy to find/fix/replace if I break down in an obscure area. All of the electric water pumps that I have seen are made for short-term occasional usage like drag racing or mud bogs. Also, I've not looked to see if there is one that fits this engine...

Bobby - You can have this belt if you can make it work... Seriously, the serpentine belt would be OK if it didn't stick out everywhere. I eventually will run a full hood on this car, so I need to move everything inboard. Right now, the alternator is hanging out on the passenger side and the idler pulley is on a bracket on the left. Both of them are completely outside the contour of the nose.
