The 330 is in the same family (FE) as the 360 and 390 and the earlier 352's. As far as the big trucks I think you could also put 331, 361. I had a 352 in a '65 f-250 and bolted a 390 in place of it. My grand father had a F-700 with a 330 or 331 in it, My father said it was to most gutless motor he'd driven.
Tell tale signs of a FE:
1. Round Bell housing - No flat on top between bolts
2. Exhaust manifold bolt on top and bottom of ports - not sides
3. The Valve cover seals to both the head and the intake manifold
390 would be the best direct bolt in choice, I think.

It's been awhile since I played with the 360 or 390 motors, So if I am incorrect some body speak up. But That's what I think they are.

Close, the 352,360,390 are the FE series, and the 330 MD/HD, 359, 361 and 391 are the FT. You might want to go over to the FE and FT forum. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum51/
