This might not be accurate, depending on year and transmission style.
I recently read this and similar articles on other blogs, and it appears people copy the same information.
There is stories out there of crossover or dual pattern 722 transmissions, but I have never seen one, nor could I find any pictures of one on the internet.
I could only match 4 bolts, out of 12 in total, in addition too, you have have to machine a lot of the aluminum plate, to fit over the rear of the engine.
So swapping an aluminum 5.0 M117 in place of a cast iron 4.5 would involve also swapping in the transmission that came attached to the 5.0 as well.
