Motorcraft alternator upgrade

Can you get new pigtail connectors at the local auto parts store or do you have to cut them off a donor car? I did a Delco 10si swap on my Javelin and the pigtail is available at any auto parts store. What is the price of the Motorcraft alternator?

Looks good! I noticed you have two groove pulleys on both the water pump and crank. If you get a double groove for the alternator you can run two belts. You might get a little startup squeal from the single belt. I had different style brackets on mine so that's why I made new ones but yours works fine from what I can see. Did you have clearance issues with the oil pressure sender and the alternator? I had to put a 45° fitting in to tilt the sender back away from the alternator.

I swapped the pulley for a double and eliminated the spacer to the head since the factory A/C bracket replaced it with a little shimming. The lower bracket stayed with no changes. The compressor adapter I got off of ebag was cr@p to say the least so I made my own with a minor change. I made the tabs that bolt to the compressor a little taller so I could get the compressor back further in order for the belts to line up properly, otherwise I could only get one belt on. The compressor was hitting the valve cover so by making it sit taller, it cleared the valve cover and allowed both belts to go on. Here's a few pictures.

Moparguy,

I had initially raised the Sanden compressor up to get away from the manifold too. But when I installed the radiator I discovered the upper radiator hose comes dangerously close to the compressor pulley. I found a cast iron adapter on Ebay that was supposed to fit trucks. It dropped it back down to the exact position I needed.
How is your radiator hose clearance, got a photo??
