I have a cvf setup, and am very pleased. As stated, avoid underdrives and mount it where it can clear the components the best and get at least a little airflow. I really have grown found of the Ford G3 alternators (available 95 or 130 amp) as they 'fit the hole' of previous Ford units and are very easy to install. Readily available brand new; internally regulated and very easy to install/wire:
