That is about all you need. Aside from some wiring (for 3 wire alternators), there isn't much to change out. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 610 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 610 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | You may need to change the pulley on the alternator to fit your belt width. I found that I could swap the pulleys between my generator and my alternator (Delco 10si) when I was doing my 216. Just make sure the fan doesn't hit.
