85 5.0 HO to 87 3.8

How complicated is this swap?  Will the AOD work with the new engine?  Will the TV rod work?  Any other complicated items that will need addressed.  My 3.8 is blown, and I'm back and forth on keeping the car or not.  I just came across this 5.0 and thought it may be an option, after all the 5.0 is what I really want, and hate to get rid of the car.

Am I better off looking for a carb. version 5.0 from maybe an 83?  I plan to run the new engine carburated.
