Question Engine swap quiestion

I am looking at a 1975 International 2 ton truck with a 2 speed rear end and a dump bed with a blown engine (rod through the block), I have a 460/CI engine out of a 1995 F350 and a 390/CI engine out of a 1979 ford my question is will either one of these engines bolt up to the 1975 International 2 ton truck.
Thanks for your responses in advance

Logic would lead me to ask what transmission the Intl has and whether a 460 would be compatible with that trans or what adapter may be required.

You?

No 390's were factory installed in cars after 1971, not installed in F100/350 after 1976.

Given the age of these rigs, to find a 390 in a 79 would not be impossible... regardless of how it rolled off the assembly line.

Your '73 F100 4WD didn't come w/a 390 either. That '71 Pontiac LeMans ragtop has to be rare, considering how many were sold, how many have since rusted out.

Edit: I just looked, 3,865 were assembled.
