Hey, i need to get th ealternator sitting liwer in my engine bay. I was wondering if the way i have it setup will work. I mean it is all lined up and everything, i am just wondering if i can make the tensioner work. I figure I could just drill a new hole on the tensioner mount to spin it downard and hopefuly it will be low enough to work...?

Oh Yeah... I KNOW it is pretty dirty, but it is only gonna be in there like 6-8 months then it is getting sold and i am dropping in a REALLY pretty and chromed out 408 ; ) For now i am just making sure it looks good with the hood closed and that it goes like a bat out of hell!!

Are you putting the AC back in the car? I can't see how you will clear the water pump with the belt running across the top from the alt. to the power steering.

This was my plan. Everythign spinning clockwise except the waterpump... Thats how it spins right??

All the rotations are correct they do make different tensioners I have a few assorted ones from 4cyl, V6, V8, different lengths. I belive some even apply tension in the opposite direction than the stock one. There are also tension pullies with grooves to run on the inside of the belt too I have a few of these. If you get an idea of how you want to apply the tension I would then go JY hunting on more than just fords for something that might work.

sweet. I was wondering about the rotation.
Also i like your car (assuming thats yours in your signature) I miss my fox SO much!! I am thinking about buying a roller when i yank this 5.0 out to swap in the 408...
