Yes, 4.9, 5.0, and 5.8 all use the same tranny bolt pattern. You need engine mounts and a zero(0) balance flexplate for the 4.9/AOD combo. If you have a complete donor vehicle everything you could need is right there, this is the best way to do it the first time.

If they are both 302 motors then no swapping of intake or wiring or computers necessary, just unplug the 2 motors and put the new where the old was.

Speedo in your '85 should be cable driven not electrical(wires).
How many wires are attached to the '90 tranny?
Is your '85 tranny toast? If not put it back in with the '90 5.0.

Use the spedo drive from the truck's transmission put it into the van's. Also make sure other then that both transmissions are identical. Keep the van's tv cable with the van engine/trans as well... That way you shouldn't have to screw around adjusting it.

Oh that's nothing, just remove the speedo drive from your old tranny and put it on the new one, or just ignore the extra wires since your truck doesn't use them.
