power window conversion

That's probably one of the first upgrades that I did to mine. I still haven't done the passengers because the parts store didn't have it in stock. Well worth the effort and time to do it. I'll be doing the other side soon.

What brand & part number motor did you get and what store? I want to do this too. Was it hard?

The job was a piece of cake! When you print the instructions from the above website it looks kind of intimidating, but they describe everything in great detail including removal & replacement of the door panels, armrests, etc. It also gives you a fairly comprehensive list of tools required to do the job.
I can't tell you the part number off hand, but you need to be sure you specify the 4 bolt unit instead of the 3 bolt unit. Apparently the 3 bolt units are more readily available. I got mine from the local parts house but they are available from Pep Boys, Advanced Auto Parts & your local Ford dealer. Ask them to ask the warehouse to verify that it is a 4 bolt unit before they ship it. Prices ranged from $79 (remanufactured) to $150 for a new one, with a 25 -30 dollar core charge. I went to the local junkyard to see if there were any there and found two 3 bolt units. I bought them for 12 bucks each and used them for the cores and saved about 26 dollars. They both worked, so you might want to try a junkyard and see if you can find a couple of 4 bolt units that work and save yourself a bunch of money.

One thing that confused me initially about the instructions was the drawing of the hole locations. I initially believed that they were drawn to scale and the holes didn't line up. I then reread the instructions and saw that you have to draw your own templates using the measurements provided.

This job was one of the easier more satisfying jobs I did on the car but only because the instructions were extremely detailed and easy to follow.

Good luck

Just picked up my window motor for the passenger side. The Cardone part number is 42-376. The Cardone part number for the driver side is 42-377. Cardone is a remanufacturer of all kinds of electric auto parts. Pep Boys and Advanced Auto Parts and the others should have a Cardone parts book to order from.
