I have also done this conversion. Mind you I did this on my stock B engine,
but will be moving the Alt to my 302 when I do that conversion..
The Alternator in question is the 10si. Most widely produced GM alt. I
also have a website up with pictures. I got my base info from
www.Teglerizer.com My only change was they style on mounting the alt. See
my website for pictures. I hope to do a write-up soon as an "add-on" to
teglerizer's mount style...

I now have 1000+miles since the conversion was completed and have had 0
problems.

I haven't been doing much with the BV8, especially since it is delegated to
living under a tarp in the backyard until the snow melts. I'm really
missing the SC weather now :-)GlennThe site listed below is
http://members.aol.com/wake074/alternator.htmBruce,No problem, feel free to
ask anything. I used a generic 3 Wire GM alternator, from a late 70's,
early 80's GM. I can't remember the model that the parts guy looked up.
They should all be the same with different amp ratings. I used a 63 Amp
model. It's been working fine. If you can find a reasonably knowledgable
parts guy / gal behind the counter, they will know what you want. It cost
me around 40 bucks or so.As far as mounting it, pictures probably speak a
thousand words. I've uploaded a few to the web for you to look at.
Alternator BracketIf you still have questions on!
