$100 US if unproven, $125 if tested to be good. Email or call the gods at Rotary Performance in Garland, TX for the wiring schematic to splice the alternator wiring into your 1stgen wire loom so that it'll last more than a month.

$450... Is that wrecker smoking crack?

You can probably get your old one rebuilt at an auto electric shop for about $50-$100.

Hell, if you really want, I have a spare out of a GSL that works fine, could sell it to you if you want for like $40.
