what is a ford 361" engine?????

Hi, I was looking at a allison transmission to install in a f350 with a 460 engine.The guy told me his transmission was behind a ford 361 gas engine. I have never herd of a 361. Is this a mistake? Will the bell housing bolt up to my 460? I am towing a 44 ft tralier and the c6 won't take it, i change the fluid every 500 to 1000 miles and it is burnt almost black each time. I also change filter and drain converter every other time.

361 I believe is either a Truck/Heavy Duty version or a Mercury version of the FE family of engines (360,390,410,428). If WILL NOT Bolt up to your 460 pattern.

Ford had a 361 and 391, I'm not sure what it would bolt up to but I'm pretty sure it won't fit 460 or 360-390.

The 330, 361 and 391 were FT engines, for Ford Truck. They were a variation of the FE engine.
Nothing interchanges with an FT or FE except another one.

It's one better than a 360.
