Help finding the right group

I'm new and am resorting a 1970 F250 Camper Special. I'm looking to swap the engine/Tranny/rear end. I'd like some help with selecting the proper components. Any help is appreciated.

Brian

I spoke with a machine shop and I feel that between them and all the parts I would buy for the rebuild that I'd be really close to a decent 351 or 302 crate motor. Then maybe I could sell the running 360 and transmission for a few bucks and I'd be net/net the same.
