I was looking into upgrading to a 3G alternator for my 89lx, I notice a few companys make a kit to do this. Anyway I was told that the 94-00 Alternators are the same and that they interchange with Alternators from a 94-97 Thunderbird 3.8L non S/C, which by the way i can get for $50. Would this swap be possible? and how hard is it to cut and splice the proper wires to make it work?
