Is there a difference between a 350 car alt and a 454 car alt?   I know they have different amps and should show it on the case somewhere. But will they mount up from 1 car to the other? What amp does the 71SS have with a/c?

Hi Willie The alternator's are the same between big and small block. I'm not positive about the amps but I think it may be 53amp. I sure someone will help confirm that or not.

It should be either a 61 amp, or a 63 amp if it has the 'K85' option on the build sheet. Dennis just ran into this last month and the charts seem to support that answer. Physically it should be a direct bolt in.

Ok great !!!!    Thanks Guys, i checked my build sheet and it does NOT have a K85 so the small block one will fit.

They all mount up the same. There might be a difference in the "clocking" of the wire connections. but that can be changed easily.

Ignore the amp ratings for rebuilt alternators, they grab a case from a pile and fill it with the average stuff. Who knows what case they grabbed.
