Now since it is out of a 1990, and I am basing this on the yahoo link there, but since everything before 1994 was AOD, then I should have nothing to worry about, in theory, right?

I am going to use that same link to look at the transmission when it gets here. There supposedly is an extra white plug on the pan for an AODE and that is an easy way to tell.

Yeah, but unless I take a item out of the donor car myself, I never take the seller's word for what something is.

iirc the 5.0 got the AODE in 93...if you want to get a motor gets on Craigslist.org for your area and do a search for a lincoln mark 7 they have the exact same 5.0 high output motor as the mustang and the AOD transmission...they will be cheaper because they arent a "Mustang motor" you could probably get a whole car for 300-500$ running and driving so you could test it out beforehand
