I have a 1968 Dodge Dart that has a stock 6 cylinder k-frame.
I am installing a 440 & 727.
I am using TTI headers.
The 1968 Dodge Dart has a manual steering box.



Has anyone been able to use a stock water pump housing(passengers side drop outlet).

Has anyone been able to use a stock factory alternator?



If so, please post what you had to do.
Where and how did you mount the alternator?
Did you have to use shims? If so what thickness? Where did you buy them?
Where did you buy the engine plate?

I WILL NOT use a GM alternator! flame

It is frustrating because everyone keeps telling me how "cheap" an engine plate will be. An engine plate is cheap until you start looking at the prices of the special alternators, special alternator brackets, and electric water pumps.

Thanks!
