351W will be way way less work. The 352 has no advantages over the 351W in today's day and age.

352 is an FE engine, installed in misc. 1958/67 Passenger Cars & 1965/67 F100/350.

In order to install a 352 in a 1980's truck, you will have to change all the engine related mounting parts, transmission and the driveshaft.

Forget it!

We have a thread or two where people have put 390's in these trucks. Same engine and if you find those threads, you will realize how much work it is to do it.

It's been done but only worthwhile for a shoestring "farm repair" if you fab everything yourself.
