1986 Z28 alternator change out

I have a 1986 Z28 that needs an alternator. The problem is that the 86 Z28 came with a .305 ci as it's biggest engine. My problem is that mine has had a .350 ci engine installed. My question is: How would I tell someone at a parts house what I need? If they look it up, it won't show a .350!

Try to find out which 350 it is, what year and whatnot and I should think that a knowledgeable auto parts salesman will be able to get you the right part.

Unless they went to a serpentine pulley system with the engine swap, it won't make any difference. The alternator is the same, and as long as you have the single groove pulley setup (v-belt), tell them you have an '86 305 TPI and you will get a 108 amp alternator.
