Nisformance has all the info you need on their site. the only thing they don't mention is that you will need to space out the alternator a bit. I had to use 3 m10 washers that I glued together with RTV to shift the alternator a tad more towards the main pulley side. here's my install thread:

My4DSC.com is a good site to browse for extra information not talked about regarding the HR swap...
