Interesting ideas, I would like to see the link to the waterpump alternator
combo also.

Bill,
I didn't have room for the Mazda alternator in its original location, but
the
little Geo unit fit very nicely.
Here's another possibility... Last week I stumbled across a company that
makes a
water pump/alternator combo for small block Fords. The alternator
windings
were hidden under the wp pulley. Its made by a company in S. Calif. for
the
street rod crowd. I will have to search and see if I can locate some info
on
it, if you're interested.
I had another idea the other day after Tracy pointed out that you could
turn an
alternator either direction. Do you have room to turn the second
alternator
around (pointing forward), change the pulley to a smooth idler-type, and
drive
it off the back side of the existing belt. Set it up like an idler would
be
done.
