Question: can an alternator from a 86-2000 3.8L Mustang or a 86-95 Mustang fit in an 89 SC?? HELP... I need upgrades!!! I found a high output 160 amp upgrade....

they can fit--but not bolt in
the mounting brackets around the alt. need to be ground down for clearence for the larger g3 style alternators--the wiring can be adapted--not an easy job-but possible
I believe this is the only route for a decent upgrade

This link has a lot of info on the 3G install:

I know of no upgrades that are a direct replacement for the 110 amp Mitsubishi unit that came with the SC.

I have a 200 amp 3G on my car. Like was stated, you need some mods on the alt mounting bracket and some wiring alterations. I did my bracket mods with the bracket still in the car. I made a complete new harness with new fusible links, since my 89 wiring was in bad shape.
