I ran a built up lt1 alternator on my car supposedly put out 300 amps. Had to get an aftermarket bracket with a heim link to keep the belt tight because when that thing kicked on heavy bass notes it used to squeal the belt. But you can also go dual alts if you get a gm serpentine bracket and put another alt where the a/c went as long as you use a heim link.

I have an extra, big alternator adapter that fits a GM serp drive. They were used on Cadillac Limos and Hearse.
It sits in the standard alt bracket and allows for the bigger alternator.
