How hard is it to install a 96 Mark/Cobra 130amp alternator in a 93-95 Mark VIII? Thanks...

As far as I know, you may need to stretch out the wiring from the harness to the alternator, but that should be it. I also remember something about the rear case being slightly oversized which may require some slight filing or grinding at an interference point to the intake housing?
FWIW, I installed a new 160amp unit from PAPerformance designed for the 'stangs and it fit with no alteration.

Does a higher amp alternator take more HP to run? Not quite sure how it works.

RE: 96 130amp alternator
Theoretically, HP depends solely upon the electrical load and RPM. But in the real world you may find marginal differences in HP requirements solely due to efficiency ratings. Probably not enough to worry about, especially on a stock vehicle.

I apologize for my confusion. Regardless, my rebuilt alternator only put out 20 amps at idle. Turning everything on max I recorded over 55 amps at idle with the new one.
There were no fitment issues. I did order a 4 gauge power wire kit with 200 amp fuse along with the alternator. I ran it along with the stock wiring and hooked up to the 12V power lug on the engine compartment fuse box.

I emailed the company and they said the H.O. $199 alternator will not fit on a cobra or mark viii. Even though the picture is exactly the same for both, they told me to order the 4G.
