Hello,

I was thinking of possibly changing the type of alternator I use to the
internally regulated 90 amp or police/race 130 amp types that Motorsport offers.
Has anyone tried this? It would take a little wiring change at least to adapt it.

I have never done this, but there was an article in MM a few months ago
about doing this with a late model GT (adding the 130 amp in place of the
90). The 130 amp mounts in the same bracket as the 90 amp with little to no
modifications required. I think that the hardest part would be mounting it,
not wiring it. It runs a serpintine belt, so if you could even find a V
pulley, it would more than likely be hard to mount up. You could find a
wrecked 5.0 car and remove all the accessories and brackets and mount it to
the front of your engine, keeping in mind that the waterpump on the late
models rotates opposite of the old models like yours.
