The big problem is that no one decides to use the serpentine belt drive that comes stock with every Taurus or 4.9 EFi Effie truck.
Mike had a conversion nutted out, but its gone from the Classic Inlines website, beause the supplier did the dirty on Mike W and
Broncitis
Old links were "http://www.classicinlines.com/images/alumahead/install2a.jpg"
and

I mapped all mine out on 1/8" steel plate, and then found the right size pulley's
People then start talking about
1. the crank pulley,
2. the water pump,
3. the tensioner,
4. the idler gear.
Then
5. the position of the upper and lower radiator hoses.
On the Ford 5.0 between 1979 and 2001, they changed the acessory positions nine times, but used the serpentine belt, and used the same kind of water pump, but even had it revese roation. You can do any thing you want.
Each five items are shiftable, so is the sixth, the A/C unit, seventh, the power steering pump, 8th, the air pump.
I use the low mount Sanden A/C unit from my XE Falcon
Left the P/S postion and 31 pound per hour , 5.0 spec Air pump as it was, but with the later model V8 P/S pulley, later model Air pump pulley
and then used the 4.9 EFi tensioner
JackFish's conversion was excellent
The 130 Amp alternator requires the same system
Broncitus and
Mike1157 used....

The biggest problem with the 2G alternator is the power connectors (spade type) and harness. They're fire starters. The 1G has an external regulator. They both also have an external cooling fan and exposed fan blades (<100A). @ the plastic "finger" guard.
The 3G has a lug connector for power, and internal fan and regulator.
I think the electrical inards (rectifier, stator, etc.) are also improved in the 3G.

One more piece of info for those 2.3T and N/A guys, it looks like some information is wrong on this swap. If you have a small case 1G (7 inch pivot mount) you must use a small case 3G a least on early 2.3 N/A motors or even a pre 1979 Mustang. The reason is after reading information on this site I did not measure the alternator for my swap (2.3T into a 2.3 Ford Pinto) and I got the wrong size alternator. It's not a big deal because it's from a pick and pull but it's a good idea to measure twice buy once. Oh the information about the V-6 alternator from a 1995 Mustang V-6 is right on however.It should fit. I'm concerned about some of the harness mod's though, it should be a known fact that cutting the harness is not needed in the first place as the stock connectors on the voltage regulator can be removed from the plastic connector and with a double male end simply connected together and then taped. Or you can just remove the ends and soldier them as one circuit. The tool used is a small standard screw driver or even one from an eyeglass repair kit. Using a jumper wire of any kind is not a real repair in the first place it's great to test circuits but that's it.

This post was exactly what I needed to do the swap on my 85. Thanks a bunch. :tu:

Done the mode according to the upper diagram.
Works great, even though the amp needle barely moves now, and i have to find a way to clean up the mess on and around the starter relay :roll:
For serpentine, you go to
