It was low mount. it was a alloy 400 SBC in a EH . It was 6mm S/S mirror finished cut on the waterjet.

I've done low-mount in an EK Wagon - no need to go mini-alternator. I got an 120Amp Bosch unit to fit around a 327. (http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad136/V8EKwagon/DSC02220.jpg) Cheers, Harv.
