Northern 52 · 05-14-2019, 06:24 AM

I am using a 5.7 Vortec engine with the alternator on the passenger side of the engine. I have a clearance issue with the lower rad hose and the belt tensioner. Someone did post a modification to the lower rad hose fitting by cutting it and re-welding at a lower angle and they were using the same idler. Can anyone direct me to that thread so I can see what was done as my old eyes can't find it. I need to bookmark more often.

Thanks

Brendan
