3.6 to HO 5.0 swap

*Pardon the subject line... I'm half asleep... it's a 3.8 not a 3.6*

Hello,

I have been on a few forums now and so far I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem really.

As it stands...

I originally bought a 95 T-bird LX with the 3.8 V6. It was great while it lasted but I started pouring money into it because of the heads. So I parked it and happened upon a 91 T-bird Sport with the HO 5.0 V8 for rather cheap.

The problem at hand is after I got the 91 I found out the rear end is nearly rusted away.

I've done some looking around and as far as I can tell there is no difference between these bodies outside of outer cosmetics. Perhaps I'm wrong... dunno.

I'm wanting to know if there will be any problems with the swap, and anything tips I might be able to get of coarse would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
