I think a replacement would be a 360,400M,or 460. The 390 belongs to the FE ford family and requires a bunch of stuff to change over.

The 360 and 390 are the same engine family and I believe they bolt to a different bell housing then does the 351M/400 and 460 do.

The 351M/400M also have a taller deck height. You are correct Good old Bill, the 360, 390 is the FE series, totally different bell pattern than the Modifieds, and the small blocks.
