'68 Barracuda Formula S Fastback Restoration Background

I couldn't get the pullies to line up with the E-Heads. I have only 1/4" clearance between the alternator and head with the alternator spaced out for the '70+ WP. I wonder if Edelbrock changed the machining in some way.

I simply don't have 3/4" room between the head and alternator as it is right now. Any help with this would be appreciated as I already have clearance issues with the WP snout. Also, I would like the WP outlet on the other side but that means changing the radiator.

I run a round back alternator, a longer slotted alternator bracket, and longer belt so alternator swings up and over to clear the head. Other triangular shaped alternator bracket is original to my car. The longer slotted bracket was some chrome universal bracket I bent to shape and painted black. Highly unlikely head casting have changed. Even though my alternator sticks out and is higher not something anyone else notices.
