Would a 5.0l alternator fit in a 2.3l? And I also wanted to know what type of mods could you put on a 2.3l for mor speed and horsepower? Thanks in advance.

yeah if its generally the same year yeah it will work. The clock position of the plugs may be different.

You might read through the sticky thread in tech to find things to do to it.

It all depends on your machnical abillities and your tools you got. If you got a really got high machnical skills research a 2.3 turbo swap from a 87-88 Thunder Bird. If your skills are a little low try starting off with simple stuff like a CAI or a header off a ranger with a 2.3L in like 94-96 ish. Then if yoiu want some easy power without swaping motors strap a bottle to it but I would stay around 50-75 shot. Also if can go with a wet system its better but a dry works good on 75 and under.
