hey do you guys with B's bang the engine bay so the alternator pully will clear? or do you jus let it grind it off.. ?

 

i havent done my swap yet but from what i've heard so far is that you have to bang out that area where the alternator is rubbing when you put a b engine in an ef chassis

 

Yes bang it in! It will not fit otherwise...

 

Yup you have to bang a good 1/4" to 3/8" inch near the drivers side shock tower...Pretty fun

i had a B in a hatch and crx never banged the engine bay it fits tho.. but the pulley rubbs on the metal a litttle

thinkin about banging it in my next car anyone got pictures!? i dont wanna bang too much n *** it up

 

here you go...kinda dark outside





I don't know if you can tell how much i banged it in because i spray painted the spot to prevent rust.

 

You need a BFH to make the job easier.

 

Lmao no need to bang it in.
Use a 90-93 ls alternator and a 95 del sol alt belt thats 30'' part number 300k4. Thats what im running with NO banged in anything and it has a good 1/4 inch clearance.

 

thanks for pics and info guys.. hey traxxasx is ur clearance as much as kmni car with your delsol belt?

 

yeh i was thinking those alternators sit like 7inch away from the anywhere close to the motor if u had it tucked closer to the motor u wouldnt have to bang that spot just position it closer and get smaller belt. Dam some day some one will be thinking why they all have that spot dented ha ha

 

My alternator sits way father away from the frame than his. Probably 3 times his.

 

Any pics of that sir?? ^^^^^^

 

I tried that part number out but it didn't work for me. Part number 280k4 works for me though 👍

 

Yea that part number didn't work because this thread is 10 years old. Lol
