Kenyon,
If you aren’t planning to run any high load accessories, then the stock charging arrangement should be fine. On my Barracuda I had the lowly 35 amp unit. I upgraded to the later alternator so I could have a better margin with the high output ignition, etc. If you want to convert to electronic fuel injection, then go for the higher output charging system.

If one is doing an engine upgrade, but leaving most of the rest alone, why would an alternator upgrade be desireable or worth doing custom fab work to get?
Why do I want 85 or 100 amp? What's wrong with "stock" 65 amp?
I do not plan any major stereo system - maybe something modest, but not a PA system of any kind.
This change didn't occur to me, and I can't see a reason to do it, but learning and asking questions is why I'm here. Do tell....
