I believe they will interchange, 2wd versions, anyway. I have an 87 XR7 AOD sitting out back, but it's past my bedtime. I'm quite certain it'll bolt up. You'll need that 302's flywheel. Are you putting the 302 in the Tbird? If so, you'll find the motor mounts are unique to the 87-88 tbird/cougar K-member. Check out www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com for the info you'll need. And ask for ChuckW's motor mounts....they're top-notch.

Scroll down and note they only use '88-93 cores.
Bolt up is one thing, last on the job is another. The AOD is in need of updates and beefing for truck use. V8 and truck models are best to start with. A v6 car model....hhhmmmm.
