Default 360 Engine

I came across a few complete 360 truck engines from the late 60's and early 70's in a local junk yard.
I am not familiar with this engine. Does anyone no if there parts are interchangable with the 302, 351w or the 351c?
I have a 302 and a 351c and am always on the look out for extra parts.
Can I use anything?

360? That sounds like a Chrysler engine.

Nope, never needed to be and never knew that Ford made a 360.. When it comes to trucks, I'm a Dodge man..

360 is an FE, parts interchange with a 390. Bore is the same, different stroke if I remember right. Swap in a 390 crank, rods and pistons and you have a 390. I'll double check the interchange thing, but a 360 Ford is definitely an FE. Nothing swaps to the smaller engines. Well maybe a distributor cap and some bolts.

double checked with 3 places one whom I know personaly and they build more FEs than anyone..lol.
bore and strokes of them.

332 = 4.00" X 3.30"

352 = 4.00" X 3.50"

360 = 4.05" X 3.50"

390 = 4.05" X 3.784"

406 = 4.13" X 3.784"

410 = 4.05" X 3.984"

427 = 4.23" X 3.784"

428 = 4.13" X 3.984"

it was Frod trying to make a more fuel economic FE for the trucks during the gas crisis of the 70's. Instead, it turned a truck into a dog...ranks right up there with the 255 for dumb ideas.
