think i noticed disclaimers that the mounting bracket
has to be messed with a little and i think you have
to run a heavy gauge wire to the battery.

i noticed Jeg's has a 100amp they quote as "direct OEM replacement"
for the 5.0 mustang.

get one from a 94-95 mustang its 130 amp, and the only modifications you need to make are a little grinding on the inside right part of the mounting bracket about 1/2 inch
and run a 4 gauge wire from the alt to the starter solenoid.
also there is a small connector for the stator you need to get from a junkyard.
then for the voltage regulator plug (small 3 wire plug) you need to cut the stator wire and hook it to the other plug.
its pretty easy, and I would just get rid of the stock charging wires as they are only like 10 gauge.
