what do i need to put a 351M in place of a 390FE?

well heres the deal guys. i have a 390 that i want to build to 350-400 HP but dont have the money to do it fast.
so i want to take my Running 351M and put it in my 75 Ford f-100 till i can get my 390 done.
what do i need to change around? and remember its just till i can get that 390 roaring.

In about a month or two I am going to be doing the opposite, pulling my 351M to put in a 390. Hit me up if you end up needing parts. Im from Indiana

Trans will need to be changed because the bell housing is different, not sure about the frame mounts , everything else should be Ok.

Do you have a C6 to go w/351M? Bell housings are different to start with, and there will be a few other odds and ends, exhaust, motor mounts,,, small stuff, but still stuff
