alternator help!

I have a quick question: got a 94 camaro, originally v6, dropped an LT1 in it and used the v6 alternator in the conversion. now my alternator is dead, and i want to use the 1997 z28 alternator because it puts out 140 amps vs. the v6's 105. hook ups are basically the same, the only thing i have to change is the belt size and drill out the hole for the battery hook up a bit. I dont think that there should be any problem, but it is a 35 amp jump in power, and i really dont want to fry my electrical system... both use the same VR375 voltage regulator, im just double checkin myself before I hook everything up tomarrow night.... Oh, and I am looking for a set of LT1 valve covers and a used opti if anyone knows of one available!

Re: alternator help!

You're not going to fry your electronics with a 140 amp alternator. I haven't heard of 97 LT1s getting fried so I think it's safe.
