Your bell housing from your 300 will bolt right up to a 351W. To swap to the 351W, you will need to remove the 300 motor mount perches from your frame and install 302/351W motor mount perches from a donor truck - junk yard is your best bet. You will also need a 302/351W radiator.
Also remember: DO NOT use the flywheel from your 300 on the 351W unless you want it to shake like hell and crack the crankshaft.
