sitting problems

well find this mint body 87 f150 on cl a couple weeks ago been talking to guy alot. the body was completely redone but the motor spun a main bearing. od reads 70xxx or something so im sure its atleast 170000. its 302 efi and 2wd and auto trany. i found a good 302 motor out of a 91 with 100000mi on it for $350. the guy wants $800 for the truck but body parts are worth more than that so i do want it. has good title. he said truck has been sitting since 01. what are problems that might make this more work than its worth. i figured breaks and all fluids are probly going to need attention but anything else. havnt looked at truck but i should look under the body and frame. will the motor from the 91 and exact match that i dont have to change anything. i was planning on buying it to put the new motor in get running good and resell. i dont want to keep it because i dont like 302s, dont like autos, and a 2wd is pointless for me. truck is only 15-20 miles from me so finding somebody to haul it cheap should be pretty easy to find.
