An '88-'93 beefed, properly adjusted AOD.
Not a $125 one out of an '81 Grand Ma.

The aod pattern will fit the 300.
You are going stick to auto, so you need a flexplate and you need to remove the pilot bushing.
The later models certainly run unmod'd, as do many early ones.
After you figure out the right flexplate, and get it bolted up, make sure the starter fits etc, then deal with the driveshaft, and the shifter, you need to deal with the TV cable or linkage.
TV is Throttle Valve cable or linkage, and it helps regulate pressure inside the trans to maintain proper up and down shifting. Improper adj. or missing, you will cook the trans quickly.
You may be able to find one at the scrappy right off a 300, in which case you should have all you need for a swap.
