Thanks, Chris. That was what I was hoping to hear. I assume the
alternator in your conversions stuck up against the rear deck. Mine
does by about an inch.

Do you bother swapping out the output flange for the lower hose on the
waterpump? Looks like it will fit with that but I do have the one from
the donor engine. Just curious.

Thanks again,
