Thats the only way unless you leave it up top with a long belt. I have mine under the bottom and its easy to do that way.

I do not use 1, buy a good optima battery and trickle charge over night before pull, we ran no alt. when racing roundy round for 100 laps

I run an electric fan and water pump in my H with no alternator. I got a Yellow top optima battery and good charger with an AGM setting. Charge it the night before the pull and you are good to go.

machine a bracket with a shaft to hold a bearing free spinning pulley. that sits in the same spot that the stock water pump pully was and leave alt in stock spot? if you dont want to run it underneath...just an idea?

Having no alt with msd boxes there is still enough battery for a day of pulling?

I don't think so. If you have a high output fan and do much cranking I think it would kill your battery.

I second that motion that Optima batteries aren't that great. Just a Johnson Controls battery with a lot of advertisement.
