    depends on the tensioner bracket thats on there i guess.

    I always thought they all had two.

    I can tell you 99+ will for sure have two regardless of which engine it was.

    Pick up Dorman 47065 for the two elbows and you'll either use one elbow and the large o-ring off the second or both elbows. Etiher way..you'll want to spend the $4 to get both.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    dude, that's not what i'm asking. since all other motors use 2 coolant elbows, i'm asking if this would change anything up from a normal top swap.

    i've read that **** plenty of times.

    You're going to be using the same alternator bracket as the one you have unless you want to get a newer one so it'll be the same as for whatever alternator bracket you use.
