Engine fit in?
Will this engine (351 Windsor A4AE-6015-AA 6) fit into a 1985 F150 Two door, two wheel drive, C6 transmission truck?
What about this engine? Stock 1971 351 Cleveland
Anyone know?
Thanks!

Cleveland will fit but will take more work and fabrication, as it was not available in your truck in the US.

As Chitown mentioned, yes, the 351W was offered in your truck in that year and will fit. A
C6 can fit, too, but you need to get one with the bell housing pattern used by the 351W.
You'll also need to pay attention to what are referred to here as "engine perches," they're
basically brackets attached to the frame rails onto which the motor mounts are bolted; if
you're switching from a 6-banger to a V-8, you'll have issues.

And by "issues" you just meant he'll have to switch perches right?

Yeah, that'd be all.
