I am getting ready to buy parts to put on the Jack Stand Queen. What year parts can I buy to put on there. Treat me dumb. I have the 86 Merkur PS pump, and Alt. I think thay are v-belt and I would like to go to Serp like my 93. Will the 93 parts work?

The serpentine accessories will work, but you have to swap on the correct brackets too. I'm doing the same thing whenever I finally get my new engine into my thunderbird, it was an '84 engine so I'm gonna take the brackets off my thunderbird's old engine, clean em up, paint em, and put them on the new engine.

Not sure if the 91-up brackets were different. I used everything from the N/A on mine.

Hmmm. Did any 2.3T come serpentine? That is s dumb question because we would have it if they did. Why wouldnt they match it is still a Lima isnt it?

If you're keeping the A/C everything on that bracket will stay the same. Just find stock crank and water pump pulleys. Ford used one very common P/S pump so all you really need to do is change the pulley there to and same with the alt. That leaves the bracket and tensioner. Simple junk yard parts.
You just need the pulleys. I don't remember getting anything else.

I need to make a list and head to the J/Y. I am going to buy some parts on TF first to try and get a T5 into the car in the meantime.

What is the advantage of the serp conversion? Better availability of parts?

supposed to be less drag....I thought, but its more belt surface touching so that doesn't make alot of sense.

Not sure if getting TC stuff is the best way either. The turbocoupe's powersteering system has a seperate resevoir. Not a problem just mount it on the fenderwell. "Randy" from TF (Evil140 here) ran into the 7's with that style.

87-88 TC
Alt or just pulley
Starter
Crank Pulley
A/C everything on that bracket will stay the same.
water pump pulleys
P/S pump pulley

Seems simple enough If you run across a complete set of pulleys let me know and we will make a deal.

looks right.
As far as the A/C goes I'm referring to using everything currently on your 93.
