if it's and AOD, then yes! You'll have to change the shift linkage out of yours and put it into the other one. Very easy to do!

The T-bird and Cougar trans for those years will also fit.

no the gearing will be the same but use the Torque converter from the stang(if it's still good) valve body(if it's good) and the governor from the tailshaft and no more AOD shuffles
