Sorry about that, I meant the motor for the waterpump. That's the black part attached to the blue thing on the front of the engine.

im sure you have it figured out, but from this last pic, it does not seam like the driver side turbo is going to clear the alt? maybe i am not judging distance enough

I would say your about right on. The alt. clears the air filter by about 1/4" and the the radiator by a 1/4" again. That only took about 3 hours to rebuild the bracket and remount the idler in the right spot. The motor plate changed the alignment for the idler pulley and I didn't have any room to push the crank pulley and alternator out any further.

Worked on it most of the weekend, 63Vette came over and helped out a lot. I drank beer and watched him again bust ass. Anyways we got all the rear suspension stuff in, just needs to be setup. Jim made modifications to my radiator to accept AN fittings. I ordered a inlet adapter to AN for my waterpump that apparently doesn't fit my waterpump like they said it would. Jim welded that up for me. Radiator is installed had to re-modify mounting points to clear wastegates and core support. Headers are installed, turbos are on and exhaust is back on. I need to pick up some shims for the gear swap. I thought I had enough shims but I guess not.
