Try '79 Chevy van'.  You can rotate the endbell of the alternator to
change the output position.   Available in 37, 55, and many other flavors
of amperage (I think the ambulance model is well over 100 amps... probably
a bit much)

You might also want to check out your local hot-rod shop (if possible),
they'll know all about alternator swaps :-)
