Looking for recommendations for manufacturer / model of alternators for converting from the generator for a BJ8. Also pros, cons, and considerations for positive or negative ground.

2 questions. Where are you ? And how diy are you ?
In the UK , most Healey specialists will sell you a complete kit to fit an alternator. Straightforward to fit and I would imagine, come with instructions.
If you prefer diy, just buy a Lucas alternator from eBay - for a Ford Escort or similar, and figure out how to make supporting brackets etc. Google would then be your friend for figuring out how to wire it in to your car.
Nearly all alternators are negative earth, so converting at the same time would be necessary. That would then involve making changes to a couple of other circuits, but nothing too difficult
