Replacing 390 with a 360

Hey guys, My ranger has a z-code 390 and auto trans from a 67 ltd. The 390 is offically dead but theres a dude on my street with a running 360 for a good price.

what I need to know is what I need to keep the trans I got. FE bolt patterns are same once you get 66 and newer right? Or will I need a new bell? Any help is appriciated.

Should pretty much bolt right up.

You will enjoy about the same MPG with about 60 to 75% of the power.

Ain't that the truth. My 1975 F-100 w/360 ran out of steam way before my cousin's 1975 390. Especially when pulling trailers. Amazing what a 390's additional 0.28" of stroke length and another 0.2:1 of compression ratio can accomplish.

What do you consider a good price for that 360?
