Need alternator help

I have been looking for a 240a high output alternator. I have a 2007 Pontiac g6 with a 2.4l 4 cylinder ecotec engine. I can't seem to find a decently priced alternator (under 500) I'm not really looking to spend 500 or 400 really. I've been looking everywhere. My alt is in the middle of my engine so I don't believe I can replace it myself, I'm going to have to hire a shop and they'll have to install it. With that being said would it be cheaper to get my alternator rebuilt or to buy a new one and get it installed. I need some links on cheaply priced alternators but built right. Also, would it be a good idea to get a universal alternator and buy a bracket to mount it?

 
You will not find an alternator with that output without dropping 500$ or so for a 6 phase "hairpin" type. Even then, that sort of current only happens at driving speeds and you'd expect about half that at idle.

Even assuming you could just get a huge 3 phase round wire alternator that would do that, what do you think you'd pay to have a custom bracket built to hold it?

 
A local alternator shop might be able to rebuild the one you have and add some amperage output by beefing up the guts.should be under a few hundred to do but I don't think you'll get 240 amps out of it.maybe 150-200 tops (depends on alt)I think

 
That case isn't very common so not many people make a replacement. Your best bet may be to contact an alt company directly and ask if they could custom build one for you. Try mechman, maybe DC power, and Ohio Gen.
