tranny swap.

I have a 1979 Bronco that i am putting back together. i just recently got the new motor put in(300 I-6) i have the bellhousing on. and the tranny is sitting right next to the truck and will go in on tuesday. tranny came out of a 1985-1987 F150. i believe it is a TOD. it has overdrive, aluminum case, and has an integeral shifter. what i want to know is if the holes on my crossmember(1979) will line up with the bolts on the tranny mount?

they might as the C6 was used in that vintage and the C6 and Aod use the same mts., at least they did on my 91 truck as they are within 1/2-3/4 in. of the same length.
