Post by: SR71blackbird on November 09, 2010, 01:26:46 PM
does anybody know if they make G3 alt. kits for the 2.3T? i read in one of the mustang mags i get on a kit for fox 5.0's so it got me curious if the 2.3T have one too.

Kit? What's a kit?

Buy one, wire it up, done.

3G alt swaps have been covered on here a couple times.  Look it up.

yeah, they make kits for fox 5.0s, it comes with a bracket, the alt and a pigtail i believe. ive only been able to find threads on doing the G3 swap on 5.0s, not 2.3 on here.
are the plug ins the same or will i need to go to the s yard and find one?

You don't need a kit.  You need an alternator and a pigtail.

The 2.3 diagrams look different from what i have.. They have 2 plugs. one with 3 wires and the other with one. I have 2 plugs but both of them have 3 wires.
