no, the electric water pump and lower hose is in the way 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 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

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.

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. 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!

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 This picture really helps a bunch, THANKS

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.

Not even sure where to start. Guess it depends on what the customer wants and how much money they are willing to spend.
