No kit needed, these engines came in these body styles originally in at least 1980 and 1981, and maybe a year or two more before they got rid of them. So if you get a older truck with a 400 or 351m, you should have the parts to bolt it in, including the tranny which you will need.
If you have a free engine and that's the reason for trying to install it, having to buy a whole other tranny to make it fit sort of lessens the "free" aspects a little bit, unless your tranny is shot already.
