Default strut tower braces

can anybody tell me if a strut tower brace for a 5.0 will clear the manifold for a 2.3?

Yeah, you shouldn't have a problem putting the 5.0 brace on your 2.3

I've been wanting to put one on mine, but doesn't the alternator have to be moved?

Read somewhere it will hit the Alternator. Here is idea. Get a electrian bend some pipe for you and weld your own. I had a trike kit builder build mine.

Here's another thread:

I got the MM one and it cleared everything except for the alt. It just barely touched the top, but it made the whole car shake. I had to shave a little of the top of the alt, and put a piece of rubber tubing around the brace in that spot.
