460 alternator mount

I run a l@l kit large body on my truck and got rid of the factory set up. Went one wire on alternator. My winch requirements are to much for oem stuff. Tried the upper system and like straight six said pully contact is to small. You'd have to have idler pully in oem position and run a small belt up to alternator in upper system off of idler up to alternator. I don't think it would be worth the trouble. Robby gordon on his ford race trucks ran a belt over to pully and had a shaft that ran a direct drive to alternator mounted on passenger side on frame system. It was crazy back in the day and it survived baja 1000 in his 800hrspwr ford. cool stuff. Thinking outside the box type of situation!! Thats why he makes the big bucks I guess. I believe it was a class 8 truck back then. What problems are you having?????

I think you could probably run one alt in the stock position and one where mine is, but like mentioned you need and idler to make more pully contact.

I found a setup off of an 86 F-250 with a 460, it has dual V-belt pulleys for the water pump and crank. It mounts the alt. right about in front of the pass. cyl. head(no more laying underneath to tension the belt), and has the bracketry for an air conditioner pump, and air pump, -which could be fabbed for a second alternator. (and power steering of course)
Some brainiac removed the fan with a sawzall-and messed up the pulley. One day I will use this setup.
Currently I have passenger car brackets and pulleys, which works-although!!! You pretty much need to remove the fan and the waterpump pulley(or crank pulley) Them two pulleys are so close, you cannot get a new alternator belt in, without pulley removal=not fun.
So, search some wrecking yards-if they allow it, and or fab. something.
