    A 351 W is considered a small block, so it should. The 351 C and 351 M would be different

    351C has the same pattern as the 302 and 351 Windsor. The 351M uses the same bolt pattern as a 429/460.

    351m is the only 351 that will not interchange bells with a 302.
    All the 351s will interchange many parts, from pulleys to flexplates.

    Depending on the year of the Ranchero, the front discs/spindles may fit your car.
    302s came with 8" rears, 351c 4v and larger came with 9" rears.
    The 2v Cleveland is a toss up.
    When equipped with an 8" rear, the gear ratios are often 3.25.
    So the chunk would be something desired by someone.
    The Ranchero was also available with Traction Lock.
    Unfortunately, the rear is too wide to fit our cars.

    Depending on the year of the car, the frame stands for the engine mounts would be useable in a V8 conversion.

    I assume you have total access to parts from this donor, that is why the long list.
