very good! this is a great Idea, Ive long had this mod on my mind.
I learned this idea from install of toyota alt onto isuzu pickup.
Toy alt $65 isuzu $265 same size and bolt pattern diff plugs.
I rewired it wrong and caused it to run hot @ 18.5 volts. cooking my headlights one at a time and interior lights then battery.
I made it back and corrected it but wondered at the economy of a standard alt system. Thoughts and ideas reach to your post and beyond by adding a/c fan clutch and amp gage for battery v/s volt gages.
I have successfully married a toyota 85amp alt to replace my kia 45a alt then under driven it. Again u pull it $30 v/s $185 kia new one.
I wont be in this car for much longer so I can try new Ideas on it or sell it. Many small caterpillar powered trucks have GM style alternators that are just bigger than on old chevy cars and put out 150amps. mounting it and modifying its potential may even make more power than the stock engine does lol ok thats a stretch but it would be a noticable diff with kick in pants passing power to boot.
Add on a a/c clutch and deep cell batt. I would only need hit switch when I want mabe...
