Ben;

Yes, it is possible to use an alt/VR from a 140, but unless you get the parts for next to nothing I wouldn't recommend it, since (I believe) the VR is not solid state, and most alternators available are just 35A units....so there's not much advantage to it, and it wouldn't be much of an upgrade.

If you're happy with your genny (make sure your fuseblock is absolutely clean and corrosion free!), first check out getting that back into service, but if you decide to change over, I recommend going all the way with an internal, solid state VR Delco unit, which you can get parts for, even in North Dakota! I can say with a high degree of confidence: You wont regret it!

Cheers
