351M to 360

I know the bell-housing patterns are different.

What other concerns are there in installing a 360 from a '72-ish 2WD in a '79 4WD that originally had a 351M?

Engine stands, clutch linkage,exhaust,the correct oil pan,brackets and pulleys for the belt driven components,Dura Spark distributor unless you want points.
I put a 390 in a 79 F250 4X4 that I used to own.I used stands, clutch linkage and the oil pan from a 72 highboy.Got a Dura Spark distributor from a salvage yard.Can't remember what the pulleys came from.Rad and shroud will bolt up fine.I used headers made for the highboy.Hope this helps.

Rear sump Oil pan & Oil Pump pickup tube.

It's best if you have a complete donor truck.
