The FE engine family for trucks mostly is 352, 360, 390 has a unique bell pattern and will not swap engine to tranny with other Ford engine families. You can swap both and be OK.
What are you thinking??

oh, wut do you want to do with it? if yoyu want fun you could get a 460 with a 4-5 spd, chang out the tranny cross member and engine mounts and bang your spinning tires, this is the route im goin, except a 6 spd instead, if you want something a lil more economical and still want pull put a 351w with a 4 spd and your golden, there are ENDLESS things you can throw in there, good luck let us know, pics too, we like the picture books here

thats just speaking it how it is, if you want good mpg's your looking at alot of work, either convert to a lil deisel or put a strait six in it with a 4 or 5 spd, higher gears(???i think????) but these trucks are not for someone looking for great mpgs
