Back to your swap, have you tried fitting the alternator in there yet? I removed the plastic cover over my steering shaft/rag joint to get more clearance.

Sad ain't it...
I'm waiting for my buddy to have some time to cut my header flanges, oil pan flange and oil pickup tube flange. Then I plan to get back to it. They just got a 3rd waterjet machine, so they are busy working out the bugs with that currently. I've been busy with other stuff too, so that isn't helping matters - I don't need anything to get the tcases and trans all assembled, but other stuff is taking priority...

Not exactly tech, but some progress. Pulled the motor apart again...load going for powdercoating... I had all the big stuff hot-tanked.
The cam covers and intake will be dark dark blue and the fuel rails and related stuff and nuts/bolts will be gloss black. The fins on top of the upper intake will be either silver PC or raw and polished/brushed. I plan to paint the plastic plug cover ridges to match (silver).

Cebby, I sent you a message awhile back about cutting my header flanges. I got the file that I can send you if you can have them cut. Check out my thread on here.

I'm looking to clean up the engine bay a bit prior to the next time the motor gets dropped in.
Here's some mystery wiring:
I think this was the igniter...
This can come out - my wiring for the ADD solenoids (My ADD went away when I regeared and added ARB's)
Need to shorten up the vacuum hose for the brake booster (I finally got the bolt out of my intake!) and also planning to replace the rear heat tubes (they are the rusty tubes below the booster)
This will free up some room! Out with the ABS pump. The FROR full floater setup I plan to use isn't compatible with it anyway...

Nope, it's on my 3.0 body harness. In fact, I'm still using that plug after my swap, it fit the 3.4 alternator too. That small white square 1 pin plug on up that same harness (it is a black wire with a red stripe on mine) I didn't use for anything, its just sitting there unplugged now.

This is the pic I'm refering to, the plug is round (sort of oval anyway). And the white squareish plug on up with one wire I didn't use at all. See if that one in your palm doesn't plug into your old alternator.
