Will a alternator from a HR bolt up to a DE
I'm in need of possible alternator depending on how my system does when I finish my electronics/audio install. I see in 07+ G's at least came with 150 amp alternators instead of the 105-110 03-06's got. So a little better alternator without the price. I don't have much experience with the differences in the front on the HR motor vs the DE. Will the 07-08 alternators bolt up to the 03-05's

Maybe. Why not see if NAPA or some other large parts store has both in stock, so you can see them side-by-side. That's what I did when I was looking for a larger alternator for my BMW 635.

Sounds like I will have too. I feel guilty doing stuff like that because internet prices r gonna be half the price of Napa or Advance and have no intention of buying one locally. If it will work it's a perfect upgrade for DE motors since they are 40-50 amps higher rated
Not necessarily. The alt I got for my BMW was cheapest at NAPA ($98), and so was the one we just had to buy for my wife's Acura TL-S (~$150), and they have the best warranty, too. Advance was almost double the price, and they've got a bullsh!t 90-day warranty.
