Alternator Relocation to avoid frame rail

I must have two unicorns. I've personally done two A body gen 3 swaps. A 74 Swinger and a 73 Scamp. NIETHER needed frame notching for alternator. Both were pre VVT. The Swinger is gone, but, kept the 6.1 based engine. The Scamp has had pre VVT 5.7, a VVT 5.7, and now a 6.1. Maybe the spool mount k is the mystery? Idk. Have done an E body and a B body also. They sure as hell didn't need clearance for alternator. A friend of mine is doing an 01 Dakota. Using a pre VVT block and LX/Jeep front cover. He did the Jeep alternator deal. Sucks it up and in towards the cover. When you're splitting hairs, the Jeep junk works. Definitely a spacing difference in the VVT vs. Non VVT. Agree with Johnny, ain't no bastard ****. It's VVT or it ain't.
