Down at the junk yard today I found that most of the Expos have the OHV engine. Would the alternator from the 4.0 OHV bolt up to my SOHC?

Not to be a thread highjacker but i also am gonna need a bigger alternator for mine if i get 4 hellas.What about a 2.3
Well this thread is null, I found an explorer with the exact same engine as mine that's about an 03? $35 for it only, so next time I come up to the yard I'll be grabbing that.
I'd rather spend the $130 for a brand new alternator with lifetime warranty from my local auto parts store, than risk a failure going with a junkyard unit. Now if the junkyard unit looks as though it's a recent replacement, by all means, grab it. No warranty for you but at least you know she's a pretty new part as opposed to a 140k or whatever used alt.
thats what i did with the vw grabbed an alt for $10 got it tested and found out it was dead sent it to a guy up here who rebuilt it for $50 so i got a brand new one for $60 instead of $600 for one they have to get in germany because my car was built over there and they dont stock those parts here
I pick one up from the junkyard, then have a buddy rebuild it for part price. $30 usually. I wanna get a 200 amp at some point...
I'd rather spend the $30 on a junkyard alt, and have the rebuilder in town go through it instead of getting Chinamart. On that note. as long as the housing mounts are the same, they will swap.
