This is a bare bones but interesting idea. I would probably put hollow tube spacers over the threads to hide them or just cut whats needed out of round stock

Good job on the conversion! I bet it would run better on FOMOCO generated electrons though (HE HE!)

I wouldn't put a failure prone GM alternator on my Ford,I've had too much good luck with all my Fomoco alternators,I've had to overhaul or replace too many GM's in my dealership days,JMO!!!
