An alt will only make as much amps as needed by whats on in the car at the time it is running.If you let the car idle and pull the high beam on then you should hear the revs drop as the alt loads up to compensate for them.At full load it can take up to 10kw to drive an alt on the modern cars so yours will certinaly take some power from the engine to drive it so hence the rev's drop.

But like we have said if it's a Bosch alt then the guts of an XF Falcon alt will fit in your case.You can't fit up the whole falcon unit unless you make a new alt bracket.
If a electrican tells you it can't be done then go somewhere else as he either doesn't want the job or doesn't know how to do it.
