Nice job. I should have my SR20det MGB swap done this week, as I'm only waiting on the drive shaft to be made. How are you mounting the alternator? I put mine on the right, used ont ef the tapped holes in the block for the alternator top mount point and a custom bracket for the bottom hole. After a bit of trimming it seams to fit. Also why not use a intercooler in front of the radiator I got one for a civic, and used a puller fan on the radiator and cut he front air deflector/ shield. Also what did you pay for the 4 link, I see Moss has one now but I cant justify $4,500 for a 4 link, I know I'll need some sort of anti-tramp system with the power.

Great to have another kindred spirit. I haven't worked all the details out, but I am planning on mounting the alternator on the left side. I found a short bracket on an Infinity SR20, keeps it close to the engine block. I need to mount a power steering pump as well, that will go on the right side (less room there). I found another option on the Datsun Roadster site- they have a custom bracket to mount a small Subaru alternator on the right side- real close and tight. The intercooler is now behind an air dam that will route the air thru it. I need to run a transmission cooler (I'm installing an automatic transmission), oil cooler, and power steering cooler, so I wanted to have more frontal area for coolers. I'm also considering Air Conditioning (if I can fit a compressor), so that will be one more item to run air thru- it's starting to get crowded up there. Check with Bill Guzman on the 4-link. It cost approx $1200 with shipping, the quality looks excellent, and it is bolt on except for the upper axle brackets
