I have a 98 gt block...did the pi headswap/intake swap, and the original alternator. However, the original alternator bracket doesn't mount up on top of the alternator, under the wires....is there one I can put there?

Thanks!

won't work on a pre-99 car as they have only 1 bolt on top and 1999 up have 2, unless you mod it. or you could get the correct alt brkts but there are 2, 1 for the all plastic intake and 1 for the improved aluminum cross-over intake

Yeah, but he said he did the PI intake swap, so he would have the improved intake w/ aluminum crossover, hence needs the newer alternator bracket.

The part number is 1R3Z-10153-AA
 
1R3Z-10153-AA does not have the correct bolt holes for a 1998 on back alt. 1999 up have 2 bolts to bolt down on the alt at the top to the brkt and 1998 back only have 1 bolt and 1 bolt hole, so for a pre 1999 the correct alt brkt part # is F8AZ-10153-EA for the intake wth the aluminum cross-over. if its a 1999 up intake and a 1999 up alt, then the 1R3Z-10153-AA would be the correct brkt part #. now if the intake is still an ALL plastic version, it takes another/different part #

Cool, I misunderstood the application for the part # I had. Thanks for clarifying.:nice:

Randy, Please help again....I am trying to figure what year my fuse box cover is under the hood (to get a chrome cover for one)...I don't know if it is a 97 or a 98....are there different part numbers for each? My car is a 97 v6 body with a 98 gt engine...

Thanks!
