Happy
Bolted right in, plugged right in, and works just like stock. Way cleaner look under the hood too. Super happy with it.
Upgrade your LT1 with Torqhead’s Shallow Body Alternator — a direct-fit replacement for the factory CS144 alternator on 1992–1997 LT1-powered vehicles. Its compact design eliminates the need for valve cover clearance mods, making it easy to fit any Small Block Chevy valve cover, including center-bolt and perimeter-bolt styles (with adapters). It has an output of 140 amps, as as factory CS144.
Key Features:
Compatible with all SBC/LT1 valve covers — no clearance relief needed
Valve covers can be removed without removing the alternator
Sleek, modern design improves engine bay aesthetics
Plug-and-play wiring — bolt it in and plug it in

Available in standard cast, black, or gunmetal finish
Depth: Approx. 3.33" (mounting ears to rear housing)
Note: Pulley color may vary (silver, black, or gold). For the CNC billet version, see our other listings.
