I have seen over the years some custom modification in that area. I have seen custom brackets made and people using a GM style alternator, give that a try

I would think that a good alternator rebuilder could rewire most alternators into a higher amp unit. Anyone have any more info on this?
Don't high amp alternators use the same alternator body?
