Plain old Delco 10SI alternator works just fine at low RPM.
No need to cut the hood either. There's plenty of room.
There are advertisers in Red Power magazine that sell a complete kit including a bracket that positions the alternator. If you're starting with nothing this is probably the way to go.
If you have a generator bracket, you just need to know a couple of simple tricks to make it fit:
1. Install the generator bracket upside down.
2. Use 3/8" all-thread to mount the alternator ahead of the bracket.
3. You may need to hacksaw off a small bit of the lower mounting lug on the alternator to get the belt to line up, or shim it out with washers, depending on the alternator you get.
4. You may need to grind a "divot" in the front arm of the bracket to get the alternator to sit right.
5. The stock length belt works fine with the alternator.
6. The back half of the alternator can be "re-clocked" so the wires point out in a convenient direction. Just remove the bolts and carefully rotate the back half 90 degrees, then put the bolts back in.
