Alternator Relocation to avoid frame rail

I can’t help much other than the 09 and 10 motors are VVT and I am pretty sure share the pulley spacing off the front of the motor with the non-VVT motors. So, in theory, you might be able to run the early alternator if you swap the water pump and crank pulley.

One unknown is the timing chain cover. Not sure if the 09-10 cover is different than the 11+ one.

Curious to see how this plays out. I will need a solution to this as well as I don’t want to have to cut my frame when I do my swap.

I’ve seen swaps that didn’t have an issue, and others that did. I theorized that it was the amp output of the alternator and that the lower output was a smaller case. But it’s just an idea, haven’t looked into it other than to verify there were different alternators available.
