The truck oil pan will be incorrect, and if it's not a front sump the oil pickup will also need to be changed to fit. There's also a 60% chance the oil filter bracket might be a truck type, and you'll have to swap another one on. They're common and cheap, and the large port adapters came on all 1968-later FEs, as well as on 1968-later pickup trucks that used the car type of filter bracket.
Yo may wish to redrill the heads with the eight extra bolt holes (not too deep or you'll strike water), since the bosses were cast into thos heads but not drilled at all exhaust manifold positions. The Mustang shock towers make good use of the extra bolt holes, since the bottom holes are frequently too difficult to install.
Be sure to select a header that properly port matches the "low-exit" head. fordpowertrain.com is a place to look.
You'll be running about 8.5:1 compression with stock pistons, so you'll have no trouble running any type of gas.
