302 rebuild or replace?

Hi all,
I just bought a 1990 f150 and the engine is not i good shape. I am looking for a 302 to replace it, but all i find is 302s for cars. I was told buy scrap dealers that a car engine would not macth up to a truck. Is this true? What is different? What would I have to change to make one fit? Do you think I am better off just rebuilding for more $$?
Thanks
