you are going to need to order one form a specialty shop. There are a couple of builders at SMD.com but they cost alot $$$

ugh sorry dont really know much about running tools off a car but it doesnt sound like a good idea. Check SMD.com they will tell you in a heartbeat.

Boss Hoss is the V-8 motorcycle. You sure you're not thinking of the Mean Green Alternator? http://www.mean-green.com/products/alternator.html
