Lots of space gained on top. How about above the altinator, custom the bracket? With luck it will share the same belt? Ot is the pics hiding something that will be in its way?

OB1, it would be nice but it definitely would not work ontop as there would be more tensioners needed and there is going to be an airbox mounted next to the alternator.

I think you should put the 4500 back in so that you can have A/C and give me the 6.0 as I dont need A/C in my Hard Patrol :lol:

Whatever Maytom :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:
But yours doesn't even look like a patrol, you will have to join the Nissan forum and only spend half the time on the patrol forum :biggrin: :biggrin:

Just got back from New Orleans and the Workboat Show, and the vehicle is only a little further. The engine mount brackets are now welded to the chassis, but we still have the AC issue.
This is the next solution, Pace have this as an off the shelf unit.

Going to order it, so now have a complete compressor plus belt and tensioners if anyone knows of someone with a Corvette that needs AC.
Hopefully now the motor can go in and stay in and I can do the wiring.
Maybe a Startup on Friday or early next week. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

The bracket wanted a bearing and the compressor some gas for christmas so the poor manifold had to go and do Christmas shopping like the rest of the bloody country all came to a standstill :thumbdown: Then when all got their prezzies under the tree everybody was thankful for a guy in a red suit with a :oldtimer: so the manifold comitted suicide after after becoming so depressed..

Not much of an update unfortunately. I have been on holiday like the rest of the country. Electrics are almost finished, ac fitted now, cooling fuel and power steering next. Headers going to be built on the 24th, then off to exhaust after. Hopefully running by end of the month.
