I have an 83 300CD and the original 45 amp alternator was not sufficient for my needs (big stereo) and with some research found that an early Saab 9000 115 amp alternator (AL129x) fit in with some minor alteration. It is by the way the same case style as your original. I had to convert the twin B+ terminals to a single ring terminal to adapt to the new configuration. It actually was a tight fit but that was mostly because of brand new fan belts I had installed. I am not sure this is what you want to do but it seems you are looking for alternatives to the original alternator.
