[QUOTE="doristhechicken, post: 15766825, member: 189594"] Hi guys This seems to be the place to go for help with the coyote engine. I'm putting a edelbrock crate supercharged coyote into a factory five hot rod. This has a narrow engine bay and the alternator has to be relocated to a reverse mounted position out front. The engine has a big tensioner on the right side of the engine where I would be mounting the alternator on a NA coyote. The engineer at Edelbrock advised against using a suitable tensioner in the stock location (lower left near alternator), and suggested I move the thermostat housing and mount alternator there, so this is the route I am going. Refer attached pictures. I found adapters to eliminate the thermostat housing completely, however I do not want to do this and want to keep the recirculation Y-pipe configuration for various reasons (faster engine warm up and cabin heat for window defog). Basically I want to move this off the engine so I can mount an alternator where the radiator lower pipe would otherwise attach to the housing. I am thinking I could do this using a couple of these adapters, one bolted to the water pump outlet and the other to the backside of the housing with a length of hose between, and then lengthen the Y-pipe hose to the engine and join this up with the housing. Is this a good idea? Any reason this would not work? Anybody know of any parts that would make this easier? Front accessory drive as shipped, thermostat housing delete adapter in corner: [ATTACH=full]1451066[/ATTACH] Alternator positioning, thermostat housing removed. Alternator is sitting on frame rails. [ATTACH=full]1451067[/ATTACH] Engine side of the thermostat housing, would put another delete adapter on here: [ATTACH=full]1451068[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
