Check with AndyF (AR Engineering) - he may have something.
Sound like it can't be mounted up high on the right, like the stock location ?

no, the electric water pump and lower hose is in the way whiney
I call AndyF and left him a message, no reply yet if he offers a left side mounting kit or not. I hope he does, his stuff is engineer great and works well bow up
This car has a stock Hemi K member along with stock hemi motor mounts, if it had a front motor plate or elephant ears I would have had a lot easier time making a mount work for it shruggy

Jones Racing has the best one if you run a motor plate.
I believe they also have engine mounted ones as well.

Best way to get a DMI bracket is right through them direct

All the ones I've seen mount the Alt on the right.
I'm pretty sure the parts mentioned so far mount the Alt on the right as well.

(but you want/need it on the left).

Problem with low mounting it on the left like many GM products do it, is the oil pump and oil filter is in the way.

I think you will end up either fabricating something to work, or converting it to LH lower hose.

You could also high mount it on the right, it's not the most elegant solution as the Alt has to stick way out,
it's a little bit ugly but it can be made to function.

I don't make anything to mount the alternator on the left side. There isn't much room on the left side since the oil pump is down low and the cylinder head is moved forward.

The problem I'm having with this motor is the lower radiator hose feeding out of the water pump into the radiator on the passenger side and it having a after market electric water pump with the outlet on the passenger side. scope
Andy, does your low mount kit mount on the existing timing cover bolt location only or does it use some of the higher bolt holes in the heads?
Thanks!

hi what are you using for an altinator < type and size > ?

looks like the owner just needs a new correct in / out rad and a correct water pump not the chevy ones he got at a swap meet .

a molded hose would look / work better also .

why are you adding an alt at this time ?

throw $500-600 at it and fix it correctly , its a hemi $$$

I called them on Monday and left a message, I called them again yesterday to ask about if they had a driver side kit and was told to call back on Thursday as the "office" was closed and the tech guy would be in on Thursday.
I'll call them again on Thursday and find out which alternators fits well with their kit, I hoping of a 100 amp or larger single wire luck
This picture really helps a bunch, THANKS up

Cab, I also had a stock location interference with my alternator. Here is a picture of my driver side arrangement. This is not an easy solution but if you like it, I'll help.

That appears to be a bit of a hack job. Not even sure where to start. Guess it depends on what the customer wants and how much money they are willing to spend.
