Jim,
I *think* you can, somehow, make any of the various motors work.
The advantage of using the Aerostar motors is that you can go back to the
OEM motors if you want to. The disadvantage is the Aerostar conversion is that
the required 4 bolt motors are very difficult to find as apparently, they
were only used in early Aerostars. Every parts source I tried had only 3 bolt
replacement motors.
The advantage of the Taurus motors is that they are available everywhere.
Parts stores sell remanufactured (?) motors for $30 to $50. It is also possible
to buy new, not remanufactured Taurus motors. I got my motors at a
Pick-A-Part for $15 each. Every junk yard Taurus I saw had 4 motors because Taurus was
only built as a four door car. The disadvantage of using Taurus motors is
that you must make irreversible mods to the window mechanism chassis.
I am not going back to OEM motors ...... no how!
Don't forget to change the window fuses from 35A to 10A.
Have fun,
SOBill Taylor
