No such thing as a marine long block. Its a 351 ford block that doesnt know its in a truck or a boat

You will have to swap flywheels (marine aplicatiins use manual transmission flywheels(

Like scott said, that motor don't care where is sits, the Cobra was a regular engine and other than the stuff that hangs on it, it was designed with auto use in mind and adapted to use in a boat, so as long as it is still running fine and you can get the right auto parts for it, it will work in your Bronco and yes, it will bolt to the C-6 with the right plate if needed which you should be able to find at just about any recyclers.
