If it's a Taurus 3.0 engine it'll work. That's what I have on my engine.

On my 90, I had to cut out a notch in the alt bracket to make it fit other than that it should fit.

The tbird and taurus 3g's are considered the "large case" version which is basically the same as the "small case" version from an sn95 except it requires a good bit of the bracket to be cut to fit where as the small case alts only require a slight file of the bracket.

The first post's links don't work but the link to my post does - diagrams are all there.

Someone cleaned out their Photobucket account and forgot what was linked to where...
