I have thought about doing that. The Napa I used to work at repairing small engines has a guy that rebuilds starters and alternators. I thought about seeing if he could build a salvage yard one to output a little more than stock. probably 120 or so, that is unless the van ones fit. I'm not 100% sure that they do.
