    Wanted Fox Body *Core* Alternator and A/C Compressor

    Hey guys, I am doing some mock up with Fox body bracketry and looking for a 89-93 Fox body alternator and compressor. These are just for mock up so non-working cores are preferred.

    Not sure if you know Raymond, but a 3G alt can fit, and is a way better alt than a 2G firestarter.

    Thank you! Good point and yes once my mock up is finished I was hoping to use a 3G. I've not held the two side by side, is there much of a difference in sizing?

    What I am doing is swapping my Lightning over to a Fox body accessory setup to help make room for twin turbos. I have the brackets, but wanted to throw a core alt and core A/C compressor on there to check pulley alignment and check room for the various turbo piping.

    Enough of a difference that a 3G requires grinding on the alt bracket. It sounds like you'll need all the room you can get. A 6G from a 2001-2004 V6 mustang, should fit with no grinding, and is smaller than a 3G.
    Should be cheapish at a pick-n-pull.

    I have an alternator you can have for shipping cost, if still needed.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
