No. The bellhousing bolt pattern is different.

I have a simliar question about the same swap. Are there differences in motor mount locations as well?

The frame brackets for the engine mounts are different for '80-up trucks. However, both engine types (351M/400 and 351W) were used in '80-up trucks, so the frame brackets are readily available.

As ecarter said, the bell housings are different also.
