Alt. High Mnt. Kit w/ 8162

The POWERMASTER Alt. High Mnt. Kit w/ 8162 (MPN 8-801) is a complete alternator conversion solution engineered for GM V8 engine builders and high-performance enthusiasts seeking reliable electrical output in compact engine bay configurations. This high-mount alternator kit is purpose-built for applications where space constraints demand a passenger-side water pump mount installation, eliminating fitment guesswork and delivering the integrated components necessary for a professional-grade swap in a single package.

Built around a Denso 93 mm race-spec alternator producing 55 amps of continuous output, this kit features a durable aluminum case construction that resists corrosion and dissipates heat efficiently under sustained load. The complete assembly includes a matched belt, mounting bracket, and optimized pulleys engineered to work in concert with the high-mount geometry, ensuring proper belt tension and alignment without requiring custom fabrication. The Denso-style design delivers proven reliability across thousands of street and strip applications, with the compact profile ideal for engine bay configurations that cannot accommodate conventional low-mount setups.

This kit is essential for GM V8 engine swaps, restorations, and performance builds where factory alternator mounting locations conflict with intake manifolds, headers, or custom engine placement. The passenger-side water pump mount specification ensures compatibility with vehicles using coolant circulation on that side of the block. Installation requires basic mechanical skill and hand tools; the bracketed design eliminates trial-and-error alignment and speeds up completion time significantly compared to piecing together individual components.
