The 85 GT is a stick only combo, I am sure Rory was just pointing out that an auto would have been easier on the block. The block does not have to be casting number specific, but the heads and intake do. Ford in their infinite wisdom are famous for year specific casting numbers. For example the intake for each year of 83-85 302 HO is the same intake. But a different casting number making it more difficult to find.

It would be a good idea to look in the classified cars section. Bill Dyer is selling a complete 85 engine with an aftermarket block, and a car already set up. For what he is asking you can not even come close to building it for the listed price.
