I picked up a Saturn alternator and modified it and the block. I also got a pigtail from O'Reilly's and started wiring it up before the motor goes in. I am going to leave the F wire unhooked and run the S wire to my fuse block for the fuel pump. The L wire will be the only one hooked up from the stock 4-wire harness. I may run a new 4AWG power/ground as well.
The stock belt was about 1" too short so I am going to pick up one that is 1" longer.
Here are a few pics of how the alternator/block turned out. Once it was done I masked off the front case and painted the block portion.



I am going to relocate the transmission cooler to the passenger side and start on the FMIC install once the motor/tranny are in.
With any luck first start will be this weekend....
