Sure ,almost anything is possible.Be prepared for a lot of work and surprises.The AOD doesn't need a computor.We don't know if your truck has computor or not.Depending what you are using it for,you may want to stick with 6 cyl.[more torque].

I take it there is a problem with the 300 or the tranny? If not, I'd gladly 
on why I like the 300 more that the 302. (I have both engines in 1/2 ton trucks.)
If both engines are carb and no computers, it will be easier. These engines have the same mounting pattern to the trans, so just an engine ( or just a tranny ) swap is possible too.
If you post a little more on what you hope to get from the swap, I think you will get a better answer.
