When I first built the engine I fitted the alternator down low below as this gave a better belt run. However it very quickly became apparent that this was a big issue as not only did it obscure the steering shaft but also it collided with the Gen III chassis. All had to change. So... I rotated it up as necessary but this meant then that it caused issues with the hoses from the pump etc. I ended up in having to purchase a new longer belt, an extended tensioner an offset bracket and a few additional spacers.
