bronco alternators compatible??

[roach]

droping a 96 351W into my 83 bronco. so far i am planning on running the serp belt setup vs. keeping all the v-groove belt accesories. only one i have a question about is can i make the alternator from the 96 engine work on the 83 bronco electrical system? if not, i need to make a bracket to hold the old alt and adapt the serp belt to the old alt. thanks

Check this thread out and the links I listed in it. If you're using the accessories and brackets from the later model engine then everything should bolt righ up. As far as wiring is concerned, you can buy a harness that'll make it a piece of cake. Check out Fullsizebronco.com. There's a lot of good info there.
