Title: 3800 Alternator relocate?'s
Post by: minuteman3282 on July 08, 2017, 10:44:45 AM

I know that it is necessary to relocate the alternator to make deck clearance in the Fiero, but is it necessary in a replica build? I have my 3800 strapped in the cradle and ready to be put into my frame as soon as I pick up an AC compressor, alternator, and belts. That's another question, are the stock belts used with the Alternator relocate? Or do I need to search for a different belt?  Thanks for any info!

I dont think the alternator relocate it is required.  I used FieroRog on Pennocks, for my relocate bracket, He supplied the belt numbers, but I cant remember if it was used......
