Gen2 F150 Block for Gen3 Rebuild?

[Scootsmcgreggor]

Hey guys, sorry I'm sure the answer is somewhere here already though I cannot find the cliff's notes.

A buddy is offering to give me the engine from his 2016 F150 to use to build a backup/built motor for my mustang. I would build up an aluminator clone or something of the like, no crazy 1500hp drag build. Would this block be compatible to use with the rest of my gen3 engine without too much hassle? Anything about it that would add additional cost instead of using a gen3 block?

Thanks in advance.

It has a smaller bore, smaller shallower head bolts, and less cylinder wall bracing.
