My biggest "challenge" was to get the alt. far enough forward to get the valve covers off (I have solid roller lifters) from time to time. I used alt. mount tubes cut to fit as shims to move the alt. forward but was limited, shim-wise, by the pulley on the water pump side. Once that was all done I bought a 90 degree water neck from Cobra Earl's that adapted to a high rise GM-type filler that got my upper radiator hose over my fan belt. There might have been a simple fix to all this but hours spent staring at it and wafting cigar smoke to the automotive gods didn't reveal it to me!
