Mitchell, Welcome to FTE, Hope to see you around.
The 352 & 360 are both FE "Ford Edsel" family engines, using the same block demintions. The 352 should fit like a glove in place of the 360.
The manual tranny requires a pilot bearing or bushing in the end of the crankshaft that the auto does not. That is the one concern that I am aware of.
If both are manuals or autos no worries.

The pilot bushing will have to be removed from the end of the crank for the torque converter to fit. It will keep the bell for tightening up to the engine and the bell can be broken with continuing tightening, don't ask how I know this.
