Engine Compatibility

Hey all, love this forum.
I need help. I have a 72 f100 with a 360 FE. I blew the head gaskets so I took the heads off to get them resurfaced, come to find out they are both cracked so I am looking for a decent set. There is a guy on craigslist selling a 360 engine and tranny he pulled from a 87 f350, my question is, Are the 360s from the 80s the same 360 FE from earlier years? If so then I will look at the engine and if its decent then I will take the heads and swap them onto mine.
Just looking for some thoughts and answer from you guys.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

ford didnt put 360's in anything in 87. IIRC 76 was the last run of the FE engines.

Hmmm I wonder if maybe it is a 460 and just mislabeled. The pictures on the ad are hard to tell if its a 360FE

2x with Teach regarding 1976 as the last year for the FE.

Post the link to the ad... we've got eagle eyes. In fact, we can spot a tattoo on a mosquito's butt. Yes, we're that good.
