The only ones I know about are the Powermaster and LC Engineering ones. Both are about twice what you want to spend.

I know that Supra and Celica 2.2 alternators fit with a small spacer, so maybe you can find one for those. There are some 130 amp ones on eBay pretty cheap, but I am really unsure of the quality. They are all about $90-100 with free shipping. Somehow that just seems too cheap to be quality to me, but I don't know.

I'm kind of in the same boat, looking for one. So hopefully someone else has some input. But I will probably end up with the LC unit. I put a GM on mine and it's too big really and just difficult to work around. But they are cheap. About $80 for a 100 amp.
If you can find it cheaper, I can fix it.

cuz im runnin two optimas, i cut out my inner fenders and i am using the small yellow top they use for hondas cause it will still fit in the stock location, and im usin that one to run the truck, and then a regular red top under the bed for the compressors, sub, and everythin else. \

i just put my alternator in but i dont think it will keep both going without giving up in about a month, but i think $400 is a lil crazy

I've had this setup in mine with a Yellow Top Deep Cycle/Start battery for a few years now ! No problems!
Two amps,a electric fan, two pumps etc.
Also talked with the owner of a company that makes high output units 200 amps ,with 120amps @ idle,$350.
Will try to find the phone number!

try calling dom at irragi alternators. or ohio generators. either place can more than likely just rewind yours for higher output. thats my plan. 170-200 amp on the yota.
