Alternator for 460
I was going to post this at 460ford.com, but right as I clicked the linked their account was suspended 
so instead of posting in the never visted 460 subforums, I'd post it here.
I am gathering parts lists to restore my truck, and right now I've come to the alternator. I plan on running a decent power stereo system, and I may be hauling a 5th-wheel trailer (so it wouldn't hurt to be able to charge batteries while driving). So I want to go with more power.
I'm looking at the 200 amp alternators or 250 amp from Nations Auto Electric (I'm also switching to a serp belt and newer model other components). I was looking at 3G models because they are supposed to be a bit heavier duty.
Any thoughts? Anything which might be better or more reliable/reputable at a decent price?

I put a 130 amp 3g on my buddys bronco for him, really slick. Best bang for the buck mod I have ever seen. $25 bucks at the jy and now we can see in the dark. I have seen somewhere that you can modify the 130amp 3g to be like 170 pretty easily, maybe someone else will have some insight on this.
