Will 3.31 ring pinion fit my 7.5 rearend?

I've got the stock rearend with 2.73 gears and I'd like to get a bit more green light get-up-n-go out of my H.O.  This car is my daily driver so I don't want too much gear--especially with today's (AND TOMORROW'S) gas prices;  My normal driving pattern is 80% street and 20% freeway (during rush hour).  So, I'm wondering if the ring and pinion from a 2007 V6 mustang will fit my 7.5?  Thanks.

Are you talking about just changing the gears or swaping the chunk?
Because if you just change the gears there might be a difference in carrier size. but if you change the chunk you should be ok.

I am talking about just changing the gears...I thought all ford 7.5 rearends might be the same.

I thought all '05 and newer Mustangs had the 8.8", which would make sense considering that V6 models now make almost as much power as the Fox 5.0 did...

I have a set of 3.27 from a 7.5 out of a 1984 Mark VII I would let go pretty cheap

The new Mustangs still have 7.5" in the 6 cyl. but the GT's 8.8" are 31 splined.
