Ya it will go smoothly. I Recently did this same swap in my 72 f 100. There was nothing wrong with my 390, I just don't like 8 bangers.
The FE 8 popper mounts are the same as the inline 6 mounts, you just need to slide them forward a notch to the predrilled holes. You will always encounter some snags in a swap but, disconnect everything take the pig out and put the 300 in after you slide the mounts forward. Wam Bam Thank you maam.

move the frame mounts forward, engine drops in with the right motor mounts. a small block bellhousing will be needed as well as the 300's flywheel. Any 80's small block powered truck with a c6 drops right in as well, except you'll need to swap over the shifter linkage from the 70's type c6. radiator hoses may not line up. Overall, it's pretty easy, and doesn't cost much if junkyard shopping. Also a longer throttle cable from the mount on the firewall or lokar cable if going with a 4bbl.
