Good morning everyone,
Was curious if anyone knew what engines the ac compressor would fit on the serpentine belt Idi's.
I know the 5.8L one fits, the 4.9 does not. 7.5 looks like it might.
Want to get my ducks in a row before I go to the wrecking yard, there's a fairly clean 7.5 I want to rob parts off of.

5.0 fits also. I swapped the entire system from a f150 to my 92 with serpentine. Some rangers will also fit from a v6 but the electrical connector is clocked different. I had to swap out my compressor and that was all I could find at the time. Wire will be tight but it fits.

Yep after going there, looks like the 5.0 and 5.8 share the exact same everything. Unsure about the 7.5, couldn't find it.
Picked up a 134a hose and condenser. Now I just gotta remember how I attached the condenser to the expansion valve hose. I think they're different sizes.
