yes you can, i run one on my 93 witha 4.0, just swap out the little black boot on the back of the alternator due to the different orentation that they have, you can swap pulleys but its not neccessary....i just run my belt on the back set of grooves and leave the 1 groove empty

its as direct fit you can get other than a 2 min spent with a 10 mm swapping the little black boot on the back..other than that it bolts right in
