just go to a auto electric shop....They 'should' be able to find you a rewound alt to fit your stock brackets, in as much amperage as you require (to an extent). Some of the better auto electric shops can find you an alt from a cop car or limo, etc...vehicles that require LOTS of juice in general, for power options.
Maybe a Cadillac alt, since its a GM? Or an Impala police vehicle alt, might also be able to be fitted??

Just look under auto-electric in the Yellow Pages and go to work (I like Dg auto electric...various locations...hint)
A LOT cheaper than buying a new unit, too..

You can get rewound alts for that application, call D.G. Auto Elelctric and double check.
I dont mean to harp on it or argue, but I got a 220 amp alt for a full-size GM quite easily from them. It was out of an older Impala SS cop car.

You'll save yourself a bunch of money

Pfft, for 2 lousy kW even the 140 would be enough with a GOOD battery. I wouldn't worry about upping from the 105 unless you notice some serious current draw.
