mustang 5.0 hand book there is a problem putting a
pre 92 starter in the later block or using the 92 starter
in an older block. the newer one is smaller. has anyne

AFIK the blocks and tranny(where the starter bolts, not to the engine) are all the same... The metal spacer on the back of the block would maybe be the only really different piece...
