Hair Pin 240-ampere alternators are available for bolt for bolt replacements on Ford and GM vehicles. One hundred forty amperes hot output in gear at slowest idle. Increasing output wire AWG is mandatory. My 50DN which weighs a ton develops 288 amps and as speed of the Lombordini deceases until horsepower sags still at 288 amps and the engine stops. At full speed the alternator develops 385 amps.
No need for a puny undersized alternator to overheat trying to do a man's job.
