Forest for the trees....

Exploder Accessory drive, water pump, alternator, coil packs, looks the same as a explorer ecm, power steering pump.... looks like explorer ac pump

Maybe they wanted to hear the turbo over the power steering pump?

Mechanically about as close to a bolt in swap as you can get, you dump the garbage TFI distributor and gain a tuneable somewhat modern EEC, you get a very compact accessory drive setup and they still have decent flowing heads.

I dont know why everyone thinks those distributors are junk. I know plenty of people running high horse cars using Factory distributors over msd or Mallory even turbocharged.

My 92 notch never whines. I know the squealing pig... But isnt that predominantly an issue in F/E series, Vic and ranger. I thought 91-93 mustangs came from factory with a differently designed pump same mounting and over all appearance.

The 92 pumps whine like a mofo


You just need 35 inch swampers.


Trust me on this. I had a 92 cobra crate engine until it broke in half.

My 90 ranger had a lil whine with the 2.3 and my 92 mustang doesnt.

Your mustang has a rack....very little stress on the pump.

It should be reletively quiet. My Fairmont and mark and t birds all made noise..but you did not hear it in the car. That exact same pump in my ranger after wheeling....whine without end

@adsm08 how did you ever figure out a 97 4.0 power steering pump worked with a recirculation box? How do I determine what power steering pump I will need with a 92 fox rack exploder wise?

Use any pump you want.
