bad alt! 2.3T

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?

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.
