engine sensor question

Ok first off let me appologize if this should be in the electrical section. The fact that these sort of run the engine took priority over the electrical part. Ok here's the deal, I'm swapping a 5.0 into the bird. I have the TAD TAB sensors for an F-150. Since I found out I need those for the 5.0, would the ones off the truck work?
  Someone had stated on another post that their buddy had a truck running a car computer in it. Since these sensors bolt to the fender would they work? I dont really have the money to go buying new sensors and am trying to use what I have laying around. Kinda makes swapping cheaper as well as gets rid of some of the spare  I have laying around. The truck had a 5.0 in it ( that's where Im swiping my heads from :D ), it's also a 90 or a 91 I don't remember which.Since half the sensors that run the motors are interchangable from car to car as far as I can tell anyway. Any reason to think these wouldn't work?
Thanks in advance for any help

If you are talking about the solenoid operated vacuum valves, I can't see any problem.
