Default Lighter Alternator Mount

Does anyone make a lighter alternator mount for the B series? Those cast iron lower mounts are an over kill.

Thanks

z10 makes a bracket kit built around a very small 1 wire alternator. it can be mounted on the front or back side of the engine.

IMO that mount actually isnt "over kill" it's made that way to aid vibartion/flex.

are you talking about a/c mount or alternator mount? I thought the 99-00 si a/c mount was aluminum. I think. I thought I remember seeing an oem aluminum one.

its actually a wet sump system. the oil is still located in the oil pan. the vacum section is completly worthless. best bet is to get it with a single pressure section and the mechanical fuel pump drive. the valve cover breathers (-16 x 2) are way better than this single vacum section.
