Ford F150 - Can I swap an Alt from a 97 Taurus to a 95 F150 4.9L ?

Hi All

I am looking to swap to electric fans, Reading up on the swap I'm thinking I may need a bigger alternator.

I have a Taurus that crapped it's tranny. I will likely use the 2 fans from that to swap into my F150.

I think my truck has a 95 amp and the Taurus's came with 130 amp alternators.

They sure look like they are the same as far as the mounting tabs.

My truck is a 95 F150 4.9L, 5spd, A/C, Cruise, No power locks or windows or anything else.
The Taurus is a 97, 6cyl push rod not the overhead cam one. Power everything.

Looking at the alternators they appear to have the same mounting tabs and electrical plugs.
If it does fit I would like to swap them instead of paying $160 for a new one?

First question is - Does anyone have any thoughts or advice on this so I don't blow anything up my favorite truck?

Second question is - Whatever alternator I upgrade to can I just install it or do I need do anything else after installing the bigger one?

Thanks in advance for any advice or guidance on this.
