    1G to 3G Alternator Swap

    While researching it here for my '84 Linc, didnt really see what I needed for so I went searching and came across this great article for those of us wanting to do this swap on an externally regulated (85 and older cars) system.

        with dual exhaust, yes. 86+ with SEFI is 160. The 85 engine did actually have a smidge more grunt to it because the heads sucked a bit less.

          So you're saying my car is 160hp?

          Dual exhaust makes a 10hp difference???

            thats what the ford bible says at least, its good for 10 hp and 5 ft/lb torque. considering how craptastic the stock single exhaust is, i can believe it, better mufflers should be good for a few more since the stockers are pretty crappy for performance.

                Wow, I guess that explains the added performance I noticed after I put on my duals.

                I always thought it was in my head, or it seemed faster because it was louder.

                prettty cool

                  Those are specs for the BABY LTD - the fox body car. The LX's got HO CFI - the same as what came in 84-85 CFI mustangs..... but with log manifolds and single exhaust

                        pretty much, most of it's the cam but the exhaust sure doesn't hurt any.

                        from the 85 drivetrain book

                        5.0 cam
                        Intake 0.3753
                        Exhaust 0.3909

                        5.0 HO cam
                        Intake 0.4130
                        Exhaust 0.4420

                        no idea what the duration figures are, but the change in lift is quite a bit.

                            no doubt, would probably run a lot better. Just figured I'd distribute some info about the cams since I now have a set of factory 85 service manuals that has that info
