i tried the 6k860 and it was too short and now it's the 6k870 and it fits perfect and even better with the bigger pulley on my 3g. maybe we have different routing or my a/c is dealer installed instead of factory or canadian cars and us cars don't have the same equipment
if you still don't have the info, i picked up a 1997 3.8 mustang 3g alt ant it went right tru in my 1988 5.0 with minor buffing to the bracket and all 3 wires were the same color and so easy to hook up, still need to get bigger b+ wire to replace the stock 10ga one but it works like a charm and easy swap with no hassle and no wondering for wire color
just did the 3g alternator swap today and with my 1997 3.8 mustang unit the pulley was a little bigger and my tought that the 2003 blazer 87.6'' belt was too long by half an inch is just gone because the bigger pulley just got what i wanted. interesting that one mod can cure 2 problems :D
factory i had a 92'' one and i tried my 90'' wrangler belt, 84'' escape 3.0l and the best fit i had was the 87'' blazer one, 86'' is still too short it was the last i tried and i think 87 will be what i will use but if your kind enough you can tell me your lenght thanks
and after a fresh coat of old ford blue it went in and i cut and welded some pipes from my mopar dual from pick and pull, last saturday i must say that i was really pleased with the new sound of my 4 month achievement.
right now i'm having trouble getting a serpentine belt cause of my smog pump delete, but i think that one for blazer 2003 without a/c will be fine. after all of this and last minute leak fixes the ride will still be a charm. My friend will also get me some marauder exhaust tips to beauty the thing a little
I searched alot for the best deals around and managed to get heads, intake, cam, fuel pump, from one guy, computer and valve covers from another, headers from one other, two pick and pull yards for the injectors and 1985 fifth avenue dual exhaust and some pony wheels to encourage myself from another mustang guy. So i bared the whole thing to get a bath and did some grinding to my heads for fun!
this winter i decided to finally go mad and do the full HO conversion to the old greasy mill under the hood. This started mid january and currently it's been started last saturday for the first time with the HO stuff
Nobody makes any anymore. I bought a set of universal engine mounts off speedway that worked with some spacers for $20.
Stock replacements can be ordered at parts stores, but these all seem to be garbage.
do you have any info on that i might be interested if it's not too expensive in Québec, stock replacement are 25$cdn each so for 225hp at the crank it will probably do the trick but if i can get better and be done for awhile with that its better
I was also wondering if there is a cam out there that i could use with speed density and no eec tune, all the ones i checked were in my opinion too aggressive for such a thing and the stock HO stick is already a good one. need advice on that and maybe custom porting if there is minimal things a simple mechanic can do to his heads whitout hurting anything :)
