Default 1983 Mustang GT - NWC to WC T5 Swap?

Greetings to all,

I've got an opportunity to buy a rebuilt WC T5 that came out of an '87 5.0. My '83 has the old NWC T5, and I just want to find out if this is a direct bolt-in with no changes necessary, or if there will be other things that need to happen (different bell housing, etc.) to get it in. Thanks.

Plus the WC T-5 is a little stronger than the one NWC that came in the 83.
