1988-89 rx-7 alternator from a gxl 90amp. bolts up to the pro with little hassle and swap the pulley from the stock alt.. a quick upgrade from 60 to 90amps.. thats my .02$ worth..
The rx7 alternator does not fit, the bottom bolt that attaches the swivel point to the block is backwards on the RX7, (I have an rx7 and a Protege for reference) On the protege the bolt goes in from behind and the threaded portion its on the front(pulley) side of the ALT, on the rx7 the bolt goes fromt he front(pulley side) to the threaded portion in the rear.
So if there is a revision to be made you could say this:
The alternators are almost the same besides that, the only other difference is one of the plugs is in a different spot but it will still be ok.
What you could do, is take them both apart and swap the guts, that would more than likely work fine.
But for someone looking to do a quick upgrade it will not work.
I have pictures of a brand new 89 RV7 alternator if you need them for reference just PM me

1992-1998 Ford Crown Victoria uses 1600cc top-feed injectors. The feed has a larger o-ring that needs to be replaced with a stock Mazda B engine O-ring, and the neck needs a shaving of about 1/32" to fit in my upgraded Vishnu fuel rail. I haven't tried the stock BP fuel rail but I will later today.
It'll cost $85 taxed for local flow testing + rebuild, which saveme ohhhh about $480 from buying new RC Engineering 1600cc injectors. That's money going elsewhere into the build :DLast edited by Crazy Drummer69; 09-24-2010, 03:36 PM.

^ with what motor? 8 1600cc injectors seems outrageous for an NA use

4.6L V8. All models, including the police interceptors, used the same injectors because some were running on CNG (compressed natural gas) and needed the extra headroom. I pulled 3 sets of 4, 3 different years, but one set only had ~250 000km on them. I could always head back and get the other four, the other set had ~500 000km on them, and the 2000 use a different body (Ford switched from Bosch to Delphi). I'll be working on them tonight and I'll make a detailed how-to thread later.Last edited by Crazy Drummer69; 09-24-2010, 03:31 PM.

you could probably get something if you found a CNG vehicle in a yard somewhere. gas companies use them because they have it available already and its cheaper for them.1994 Escort LX Wagon
