I think Denso makes them, but not sure. No idea on an OEM model number.

I don't believe so as I've seen many SBC with low mts and regular size alts. I used it simply for space saving reasons. I had a one-wire type, but it was too tight a fit on my SBF, so I sold it and went the Denso type mini. Its worked great for me and my dad purchased one also for his.

Mounting the engine too low in the frame (pan too close to the ground)all because of the trans and drive shaft hump, is not a good reason really... That can be worked around, but a busted pan or starter ring is a nasty fix and at the wrong time a real nasty all around headache...

Ever though about this for an alternative? And yse it can be done with a live axle

If your not going REALLY FAST all the time i dont see how this is a good idea.I do alot of cruising and just plane putzing around so my battery would for sure go dead.I dont have the room either for a four foot pulley under my car to adjust for the lack of rpm's.

OK
At just 7 mph the alternator kicks in so you don not have to go that fast. The Kabutsu one talked about has a very high output for its size. The guy I use to help me out with this has a company that build these and others for everything from Ferrari's to Rods. His honest opinion is that I will have NO problems. Take a 100 yards dash and the battery will be good to go.
