A low mileage 351W is what you want. 1994 and newer will have a roller camshaft. There won’t be any wiring and computer issues because you will only be using the long block. Do not use any wiring from the donor engine.
I swapped a 351W into my 302 F-150. Everything plugged right in.
Did you buy an engine or still looking? If you are going to have it machined and rebuilt then mileage won’t matter as much versus dropping in the used engine and seeing how long it lasts.
we bought a 92 ford f150 4x4 with 5,8 140k miles runs great so trying to sell parts off the truck hopefully the front clip then pull motor before it rains, gonna sell the other 1980s 351 we bought, and part this truck out. so looks like a simple swap and should have no issues
