They should be SIMILAR, but most probably won't be the same, as they belong to different generations. Is there any particular reason you need this info?.

You don't need to measure anything, it will fit, do a search, it has been done before, there is even a powerstroke 90's Bronco around, and those have exactly the same frame engine-wise.
