You need to cut the transmission side bracket completely off the frame. It's just held on by spot welds, so it's not too bad to remove. Unfortunately I don't have any decent pic of the alternator placement, but there may be some issues. My friend has a Drag turbo kit, and it only allows enough clearance for a 2.5" downpipe, unless he finds a way to custom fabricate a 3" one to fit. Of course he also has the cast iron log manifold that came with the kit also, so I'm not sure if something like a tubular ram horn would cause a clearance issue as well. I'll see if I can get him to send me some pics in the next few days of it, but he's using a HCP mount kit so it's a different transmission side mount than the Hasport one.
