I tried to search it couldn't find anything regarding
A 200 amp alternator. Is anyone running one? If so what brand? I found PA Performance on the the internet but it's close to 400 bucks, anything cheaper?

Thanks in advance.

Do you need 200 amps? There are a ton of 140 and 160 amp units that practically drop in.

I was just trying to do the max I guess u could say.
I figure I'm putting the AC back in, electric radiator fan, stereo system, etc. I wanted to get the most possible.

I'm sure that in 2046, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 2016, it's a little hard to come by.

Any of the 3g and 4g series alternators will handle what you have. No need to drop 400 on a used alternator.

Unless you are running some sort of crazy stereo setup, no real need to go beyond 130a.

Even 110A would be plenty.

The shortcomings of the stock mustang alt isn't that it doesn't have enough current draw (granted it needs more than 75A when you add things like e-fan) it's that it doesn't make proper voltage at low rpm.

A 130A 3G or 6G is all you need. Most modern cars with all the bells and whistles don't have much higher than that

Yes... You'll need to modify/file a bracket and upgrade/add some wiring.
