The required cranking amps for a V8 engine typically ranges from 600 to 1,000 amps, depending on factors such as the engine size, temperature, and condition of the battery. In colder climates, higher cranking amps are often needed to ensure reliable starting. It's essential to consult the vehicle's specifications or the owner's manual for the exact requirements.

It depends on the alternator.A diesel produces more amps because of the 24 volt system.14 amps on a 305....
usually around 600 amps, but it depends on the engine you have. For example, a larger engine will require more amps than a smaller engine. a typical 5.0 L V8 requires about 650 amps, and some SUVs have larger and smaller engines. So check your engine,and get the right battery.
