3g alt. upgrade

hey all I need some input, I just installed a stereo system in my 90 bronco 5.8, I need a new altenator. I am doing the 3g upgrade in my 78 f150 and want to do the same in the bronco.
Ok here is the questions, what ford vehicles can I pull the alt from so it will bolt into the bronco? and is there anything special I need to know?

Pasted from a tech article written by Fireguy50 @ FSB.com:

All of these Ford vehicles had the 130amp 3G

(1994-95) Ford Mustang 5.0L
(1994-00) Ford Mustang 3.8L
(1994-97) Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Cougar 3.8L
(1990-95) Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable 3.8L
(1993-99) Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable 3.0L
(1995-98) Ford Windstar 3.8L & 3.0L
(1991-94) Lincoln Continental 3.8L
(1992-97) Ford F Series Pickup
(1992-96) Ford E Series Van

Be careful there was a 95amp 3G, it's ok, but not high-power
Most of the 130amp 3G's will crank out 140-160amps.
