Default tranny swap from 92 to 89?

I can get an 89 Dekota w/3.9 V6 for cheap. I have a 92 w/318 for parts. Will the V8 tranny fit the V6?

I do believe the transmissions are not interchangeable [:@].
I don't know what year they made the swap, but at some point they swapped from 4XRH to 4XRE. (Where "4" is the # of forward gears, "X" is the strength of the transmission [2 on the V-6, 6 on the V-8], "R" is for rear wheel drive, "H" is hydraullic, "E" is electronic.) So, the actual model of transmission is important as well.

V6 and V8 have the same bolt pattern. But you must use the V6 flexplate .

I tried to reply to this yesterday, but something went wrong. I just notice now that it didn't post.

Any way, since the V6 still has the tranny on it, I could just use the flex plate from that on the V8 setup? Sounds like your saying that is the only difference is the flex plate? Then I just need to find the post I saw someware about how to make the TCC and OD work. I read it the other day about how to use a couple of switches or something to make it work normaly.
