i know that you can use the same alt. and you can modify the upper bracket to even reuse it from your d series. as for the starter you will have to use a b series starter . hope that this helps you out.

You'll need a 90-95 B Series alternator - both OBD0 and OBD1 have the same plug style. Then you will also need a 90-93 B Series starter.

Bseries my friend. If you are trying to save money go to the junk yard or look in the phone book for used auto parts!
