I've owned a lot of trucks and many Fords from 60's to current models and have some insight on their engines.

I have at one time or another had Ford trucks with: 223 inline 6 cyl
300 inline 6 cyl
302 V8
351 V8
390 V8
460 V8
3.0 litre V6
5.4 litre V8

The 302 depending on year is a popular small engine with good reliability, a huge afermarket, and it has decent power in stock form.





It should be capable enough for some light duty towing with an automatic but a manual tranny would be best for towing and mpg.
Consider servicing the automatic and adding a trans cooler for towing.
Because of the vintage of this truck and it's non OD automatic don't expect great power or mpg.
Congrats and as with any older machine, preventative maintenance is absolutely key to longevity,

ok 2 questions first no 360 ? and 2nd which 351 w or c or m

No, never had anything with an 360.

One truck, well actually a Ranchero had a 351 windsor.

One car with an 351 cleveland but no truck with it.
