Not in the stock location, but March, MSD and many other companies make kits for mounting alternators. You'd probably have to use a one wire with these and then play around until you found the right belt length.

Why can't you use a single high output alt? I have one that goes to 230A (nearly twice the output of the stock alt) made by HO Alternators. There is another thread in forum about a different manufacturer and I think they went up to 250A.

...also not a dual set-up, and I chose a more modest power level.

But check out the pictures and the links, there is a lot of information
that is good to know and may help you make the best decision for you.

here....... Home page Its where i got mine. dual 175 amp alts. they can do dual 250 amp alts if you want. with this setup, you MUST have dual batteries because the main alt runs the truck and the second alt will run the other system like the my stereo. they will, and have already been measured at 216 amps when cold and will do it hot too. sorry for the big pics.... the first pic shows the stereo drawing 164 amps by itself and the top volt gauge monitoring that battery at 13.9 volts and the main alt is also at 13.9 volts.
