Welcome to FTE rowdyranger.
The sure fire way to see if they will interchange is to get under and look. It's not likely that somebody swapped something different into one of them.

There are two trannies for the 2.9, a Mazda and Mitsubishi, you need to look at the bottom to determine what you have. I beleive they can be swapped but I'm not 100% sure. If you do a search here and the BII forum you should find more on this.
