engine wiring question

I'm using a 351 cleveland that was in a 1979 f-100. It has a C4 transmission. Other than the silver box that I think has something to do with the distributor, is there any other brain or wiring that I need from the 79. The C4 also has some wires coming off of it. Any ideas what I will need to scavange for it to work. The 351 will be going into a 66 f-100. Thanks

PS, let me clarify that yes its a cleveland. Someone swapped out the original 302 that it came with.

The wires off the C4 are probably for the neutral safety switch & back up lights. You will need the dizzy to go with the brain box.

Thank you very much. I did pull off the brain already and the dizzy will be used again. Just wanted to make sure there was nothing else I needed out of the cab before I sell it.
