We need a little bit more information to be able to give you a proper answer. Like what year is the truck you are working on and what year the 300 6 is. It is likely that you will have to fab some mounts at least for the engine because the 300 engine has mounts on the side of the block where the 223 has them on the front of the engine. I guess it all depends on what year of truck you are working on. This will at least bump it to the top again and perhaps someone else can answer your question as well.
