If you counted 11 bolts that's a problem... the 9.25 has 12 bolts:

Also, this is identical to a post he made about a week ago. The conclusions were:

For a 4.7L swap the 8.25" will probably hold up for a while
For a 5.7L swap the 9.25" is the better choice

Also, it was advised that swapping engines is a bitch, especially with OBDII vehicles, not a casual project.

I don't know why you would step back in time to a 5.2L.
