It's not a direct swap. Engine are not at all the same. The 300 six is longer, different bolt pattern. Sounds like a headache to me.

Jainesville??? Going to the Dash to the Dells truck show in Sept? You are in Badgerland F100's area. Do you know any of them? Help might be right around the corner. They have a website through this site. Look on the right column for clubs.
