Engine swap for 73 highboy?

Ok here's the deal. I have a 1973 F-250 4x4 Highboy, 4 speed, I have a 360 in it right now, but I have the chance to buy a built 351 clevland, what do I need to put that motor in, will it bolt up to my transmission, motor mounts? or is it a nightmare waiting to happen? Please help

hey thanks for the reply, Well i guess it sounds like the clevland won't work, what would be a good motor to put in? I need power and would like to have to change as little as possible? Recommendations?

I've swapped a 351m to a 360 in 77 high boy last summer. All you'll need is a 4 speed bellhousing for the 351c that will mate to your tranny and a set of motor mounts.
