ALso I found a custom speed shop here in Tampa that manufactures there own alternators 200 amp with a custom blue finish to match my Newly Equipped ford racing engine bay(p[ics to come) for $325.00 . Do you guys thing this is a good price? I thought it was compared to the mechman(over425)plus hes gonna install it for $50.(after reading post looks like opuck puck is the only one who can swap a alt out in reasonable time im out for $50) Can anyone give me some inpuit on this..

yea but you can't really see the alternator from the top of the engine bay unless you really look down inside for it....besides I think you can get your stock alternator rewound to that amperage for around $100.

I had my stock alt rebuilt to stock specks for $170. For the 2001+, thats about the only option since there arent any reasonable replacements avaliable.

Damn, dude- Calm down... It's okay.

They meant to get your stock alternator re-wound with better internals, so it won't die inside a year. It doesn't make much sense to pay for a custom-colored alternator when the thing sits so low in the engine compartment that you won't see it without significant amounts of contortion.

You can see how the alternator sits on the motor here:

Better to go for a beefier build for your upgraded audio system rather than a cosmetic solution.
