6g to 3g

[wesl56]

anyone know if its possible to replace the 99-04 6g alternator with a 96-98 3g?? reason i ask is a 200 amp 6g is about $290 and a 200 amp 3g is only $220

it looks like they both use the same mounting/pulley configuration, and im sure i would just need to splice in a new connector

here they are:

That price seems pretty high

You could call around other part stores and see what they say. I know that different parts of the country have different part stores though Autozone charges $200 or so for it

well I don't have any good advice for you but what I would do if I was in a hurry is see if I could find a parts store that had them both in stock and go see if they are physically the same. if they are obviously the wiring would not be a big deal. or find someone with a 98 and just look the thing over good.

I have a feeling they will be some small little thing different but I am not sure.

for example just the 2001 bullitt takes a different alt. I don't know what is different but if you want to run that aluminum intake you need a different alt.
