5.0 liter Engine

Is it me , or does something looks strange/different with the frontend (accessories ) of this engine?

86 or newer based on the distributor... is that alternator a non stock LARGE output ??
Same brackets and pulley on my 83..

Everything looks proper to me except the alternator looks strange.

I've seen that alternator pulley/fan combo on other 5 Ford 5.0's like town car or Mark 7. Early 2G style which i think ran to 1987 or so

Not really, its just not a mustang pull out.

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

It means based on that one camera view, that engine may have been pulled out of something other than a 5.0 Mustang.


Of course, we need more pics and such to really determine is that is the case.

Here are some more pics - thanks for all the input.

Lol that's why it looks wrong, its got a shroud on the 2g alt. So it looks funny in the straight on shot because you can't see the blades.. Its an mustang pull out....

Looks like it’s from a TBird

Either way, its looks pretty dang clean.

Its not, the t bird/ lsc/ cougar has way different a/c bracket... The front shot with that alt. Just looks odd and what threw me, but its from an 87-93 mustang....a/c Brackets only different on limps because his is an early car, notice the p/s bracket on his is also different from the later cars.

The AC bracket LIMP is showing looks like every other one I have ever seen on any fox. My two 1990 foxes have that same bracket, my two 1993 foxes have that same bracket, my 1987 had that same bracket.

83 must of been a special year........

I am saying your AC Bracket looks like every other AC bracket I have ever seen on any fox. They appear to be all the same.

Ok, I got that backwards....

 

[Mstng93SSP]

It was the way I worded it. I edited it. It makes more sense now.

There not... Look at the power steering bracket also. The 86-93 isn't raised where the ps bracket bolts its flush, the early cars used a different but similar bracket for the A\C, and a very different p/s pump bracket.

 

[rednotch]

Only one I could find online but 82-84 bracket is like limps 83, they look the same looking down from the engine bay since most of it is blocked but straight on there slightly different, think 85 is when it changed but may have been 86.

Partly my bad, when I talk foxbodies in my mind I am only thinking 87-93....as that is all I deal in.
