98 alt in a 99+?

[CrazyGuy03]

Soo I might have overlooked a small detail last year when I grabbed a high-output alternator
I hope there is a way to keep this alt as its already been dressed up and has a much higher output over stock.

Im also using a gen5 with a full size intercooler - I know space was tight with my 03 alternator but I just had to notch out the plastic cover.

Thanks in advance

Maybe just swapping out my new tensioner assembly for this one ?

^^^ James is the swappiest alternator swapper

Perfect - so the 99 fbody has more clearance for the gen5 and intercooler vs the 98 w body?

glad i didn't order the one listed for a 98 wbody dorman #419105....
thanks !!

Ah good point. Thanks

Hey you wouldn't happen to know the part number for the heater hose connectors would you? The l26/l67 99+ mount on top and the new bracket for the camaro looks to have the bolt on the side.
The part store gave the same exact connectors I already have. They cant find the ones with the bolt on the side
thanks

I use the F buddy or W by the ones from the junkyard

[CrazyGuy03]

Really. So the ones I have now could work?

Just in case I don't get time to go to the yard (open same hours that I'm working)

im sure people who did this bracket swap for the CS144 might have had the same issue

I seen these (http://m.advanceautoparts.com/mt/sho...n_jtt_redirect)
but not sure - 90* bend, out of stock and $35 a piece lol no way

Screw that.. I'll stick to the simple cheap brackets I made.
