Sre it would be easy, but it wouldn't net the output I want. I was hoping to
get near 300 amps... and so far, to get that in a single alternator package
would cost almost as much if not the same, as a dual set up.
What I could do to make the whole thing easy, and get the amperage I want,
however it would not be the cheapest option - is to use two MSD 160A single
wire units. (or perhaps find a different manufacturer that makes a high amp
single wire) - and bypass the factory charging system all together.
