That's the first relocated alt that I've seen. Pretty neat idea. Car looks good.

It's cramped cause he's got more room allocated for Oil Filters, IC and supporting fittings, than for the engine itself... try doing the same thing in a piston driven engine....



I don't really understand how you can call that a v-mount.. Maybe because the radiator sits at an angle, and it still forms a v... but to me that's a horizontal mount ...

Chuck.... THAT is why i'm broke!!



As far as it being a V-mount, Yes, the radiator is flipped and positioned into a V configuration with the I/C. You can vaguely see what i mean in the pic (enclosed) I used the space that i had... it's not really as craamped as it looks. pop a few Q/D fittings and a few couplers.... and whole unit comes out w/ enough room to have a picnic in front of the engine. (great for mid-project snacks!)



The lenses come with the original GT-C noses.
