Alternator swap question...

Ok, guys, this may take input from folks here as well as the F-series forum unless someone here knows.

Swapping '92 4.9L (300) into a '93. The 4.9 was dropped from the Bronco line at the end of 92 but remained in the F-series. My question: Did the 4.9 get the new alternator in the F-series in 93? The alternator in the Bronco changed on the V8's but since there is no 4.9 in a '93 Bronco to use as a point of reference, the F-series would be the only place to find out.

I would rather keep the new style alt. in the Bronco after the 4.9 swap. It boils down to whether or not I can get a mounting bracket for the newer alternator that fits the 4.9 or whether I have to put on my fabrication hat and make one.

Thanks to any one and everyone who might give me some insight.

The 4.9 in the F-series got the new 3g alt starting in 1995. It has the normal straight up and down mounting holes compared to the early style offset mount holes.

Cool, that at least gives me a model year to start looking for the right mounting bracket!
