3.0 engine size
2v per cylinder is an easy job
4 valve per cylinder engine very difficult to do

Thank you so much for your detailed and quick response to my question. My husband went out and purchased the alternator and had it installed in about 5 minutes (first time - did a great job) all before we got your reply.
