Angry burnt/flooded 360

well its my first post but have been a ford fanatic for many years, am on my 15th old truck and need help putting it back together. a 69' f100 360 4 speed t18 trans 9" rear,
blew some frost plugs and thremo housing, replaced and was apparently running fine. two weeks later was idiling rough, so iz haz a look and find #5 cylinder leaking fluid around spark plug.
tried to restart it and found it to be hydraulicing, and wouldint turn over, took the heads of and all the the cylinders were full of water. the oil is still black and hasnt mixed, the block must be cracked and want to know what i can drop in the 69' mounts, and bolt upto the t 18 tranny.

Seems like a 360/390 from a salvage yard would be the best bet. I think they are easy to find. Why change everything around for a different engine?

if you want hp get a 428, but if you want something just to get you by i agree on finding a 360/390 somewhere, more proferrably a 390.
