CJBrian Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Very nice and clean install. I like how you mounted the alt. a little lower. Custom brackets? I like the stang wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deja Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 This was in my 280Z when I bought it, I cleaned it up a lot before this pict was taken. This is what I changed it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Most of you have seen it before but, since you asked, here ya go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Very nice and clean install. I like how you mounted the alt. a little lower. Custom brackets? I like the stang wheels. Thanks. The alternator bracket isn't anything custom, its made by Alan grove components. Its their mid mount bracket. I think speedracer's post right above this has the same bracket actually.

garvice Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 My Sleeper... I love it. Love to see a ricer pull up beside you and ask "What you got under the hood?". Ah gees, I wonder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HICKL Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 You call that a "sleeper"??? LOL!! Ha Ha. It is actually more fun to cruise it with the single carb intake and my regular hood on it as when it is a sleeper. With it all under the hood, it is cool because it is "faster than it looks". With it sticking out of the hood, it is "not as fast as it looks!". Typically people think I have a blower on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looks bada$$ though. Several years ago I nearly bought a Triumph Spitfire with a similar powerplant. It was c-o-o-o-o-l. Sorry to slide off topic.

I think speedracer's post right above this has the same bracket actually. I jsut called Alan Grove and ordered that bracket. He laughed and said another Z guy called him this morning.
