Default Question for the Ford guys

Hey you blue oval guys, I have a question.
I am looking at purchasing a Ford Trader truck with tilt flat bed.
It currently has a Cleveland 351 fitted but the engine has been open to elements and water has entered intake and motor is seized.
I am looking for a more fuel economical engine option, and am wondering if the 5 litre as fitted to late model Falcons would fit?
The truck runs a manual gearbox and PTO for hydraulic drive for tilt and winch.
So i would like to keep the gearbox in place.
I am wondering if the Cleveland and late model Windsor share the same bell housing pattern, and same clutch/throwout specs as far as same clearances etc?
Or if there are suppliers who can supply appropriate adapters.

Cheers all.
