Whats involved with moving the alternator on a T2

Any ideas what's involved with moving the alternator on the T2? as in the picture i.e. TDC camshaft? (is it a engine out job) alternator bracket(s), pullys etc

The alternator on my engine is in the standard T2 location I.e. buried at the back of the engine bay, the one in the pic which i think is Maxi Spec is where i want it (opp end of the engine). The reason why is EFI related and its really a must

ill add a bit more to that as things progress hopfully :shock:

you can put it where you want..... as long as you have the space to mount it, cables that reach and a pully off the engine to drive it.....

New camshaft, and a fair amount of machining, I am afraid!

Thats got me worried

i was speaking to John Price the other day who reckons he can put a kit together i.e. TDC/Maxi cam (extended for the pully) pullys, bracket etc, its the maching bit u mention thats got me worried Mark :?:

EFI related :roll:

The new inlet is vary similar to the one in the pic below, injectors./fueling in the optimum position (i hope) the standard alternator posistion is in a BAD/imposible position, so thats the reason for going to the TDC route re the posistion of the alt.

Talking of cams,Im sure? JP said he can supply a 240cv cam with the extension. Just looking on some of the french www's all i can see is 265CV upwards? Would a 265 be to wild for road use? with EFI

Its looking like i had my last drive in the T2 this year in early april :evil:
