It depends on the CFM. If they are both 2 barrels then they are probably similar. The 360 is larger so it might be slightly bigger. You won’t know the CFM until you look up the part numbers on the inter webs. Are the base plates the same? If the new one bolts onto the manifold and the butterflies cycle freely then you may be able to pull it off. Won’t know until you try.

Many people use the 1.21. I put a 1.53 on my 4.2. Check the jets you my be ok. If it is off of a 360 engine you will probably have to change them to a smaller size. There is a web sight I believe is called Mikes Carburetor. There is a wealth of information there. There is contact information there as well. That is who I got my Jets from.
