[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16305949, member: 117234"] The first thing you need to consider is emissions because as you probably know the TT kit is far from legal and probably never will be. From my understanding the kit has not been updated or changed. I don't think the kit is poorly designed but rather has some shortcomings. The two biggest being the alternator slip issue caused by lack of belt wrap and the unsupported piggy back crank pulley. The injector placement is not an issue with the adapter plates on the TT kit because the adapters (actually spacers) simply install in between the body of the intake manifold and the runners. They are not like other spacers you used to seeing that tend to push the injectors into the roof of the port. The injector location is physically unchanged. Going back to the two shortcomings, the alternator issue could most likely be fixed by adding an idler pulley near the alternator mount. As far as the crank pulley issue is concerned you can get around that by installing an ARP stud. This requires machining to increase the thread depth to not only add more thread engagement but also tap into the thicker area of the crank. There was a large write up on modfords years ago in the Terminator section. People were snapping crank snouts running uncaged pulleys and this seemed to be the best work around. This could have been avoided if the belt tensions of the accessory belt and blower belt were close to 180 degrees out from each other or a caged pulley was used. One other minor issue to consider is the alternator hanging off of the 2 slotted mount tabs. You could probably figure out a way to mount some brackets to capture the other two mount holes. [/QUOTE]
