Yup- they use the same frame as your OEM. FYI, if the weathers bad right now and you feel confident working with electrons, you could try JC Whitney's increased-amp rebuild kits. They advertise them as being do-it-yourself-easy, cheap at less than $40 and the only downside is reduced amperage at idle but much-increased amps at cruising speed. Dunno if that's a characteristic of all high-amp alts, or just their parts, and reliability is also unkonown. Remember, more amps means more load on the drive belt(s) and crank/waterpump bearings. Also, Ford's supplier made 120-140-amp alts for Ford police cars, but I can't tell you if those use the same frame as our little 63-amp units.
