Default Transmission replacement

I have a 1990 Mustang LX Convertibile 5.0 Auto. I need to replace or rebuild the transmission. How do I find out what model this transmission is?

Come on Mike a AOD build by the right hands is a good trans. the 4r70w is better by far but most of the well built AODs run the 4r70w internals anyway.
