There are variations, so it really depends on what you have in mind and where you want to go with your swap project:

Ford small block engines 302/5.0L/351w bolt up generally to whatever transmission you now have or to later alternative transmissions. Bolting in isn't the only consideration since you have to account for accessory drive (serpentine or v-belt), accessories to be used (alternator, power steering, air conditioning), transmission (standard, automatic, five-speed, AOD, EAOD, etc), fuel system (carb, EFI, aftermarket), etc.

I have 5.0L HO roller engine in my '65 and use with v-belt accessories and T5-Z five-speed tranny. I use Holly Street Avenger System parts for fuel induction and Hooker Comp headers for exhaust. Its just one of many combinations.

There's so many possibilities that you could have in mind. Narrow them down to a specific configuration and perhaps we can offer better advice.
