thats a good price, you need some 4 gauge wire and some terminal lugs.
and a die grinder.

something to grind at the alternator bracket, you will see when you try to put it on, you need to remove some matterial so the voltage regulator plug doesnt hit the bracket

buy a dremel, they're great for everything and they're like $60 and come with a ton of extensions.

i just put a 140 on mine and a new belt. if i didn't tighten the top bolt enough would it move once it's running then once off touch jus a lil after the water pump pulley? it's doing this and pissing me off.
