    Thunderbird 3.9 Same as LS 3.9?

    Searching for a new motor this week and keeping the old for parts. I came across an 04 Thunderbird 3.9 running with 44k miles on it but am not sure if it will be a direct swap for the LS? Being 04 it should be gen 2 but unsure of the differences if any or weak points of the 04 vs 05.
