  • need alternator-H.O. or V8 work?

    well im saving to replace the v6 with an lt1, so could a v8 alternator bolt up to our mounting brakets and work on our motor? would there be an advantage to this or would it work till i got an 8? cause i dont want to buy a new alternator and a used one is 50 plus core. if i do stay with a V6 one i might get a H.O. for my subs could you recomend any? how many amps are the 3.8 liters because thats what i got and would a 3.4 liter one work? thanks. -nick

    on the 3.4 the stock alt is 105 amps.

    I just received my HO alt which is 180 amps today, and theres no voltage drop at all.

    I can idle it, with AC on high, high beams on, system up and it barely goes down pass the middle line.

      do you know if the HO will bolt up to a V8 when i get one? or will a 3.4 one bolt up to mine for temporary use because i got a 95 with a 3.8 liter in it.

        dont hold me to this but i dont think it will.

        If im not mistaken the V-8s have the alt at the bottom...while i us the V-6 guys have them at the top.
