Maybe someone who's done this particular swap will weigh in with personal knowledge but I don't see any reason why this *shouldn't* work with OEM stuff. The 170 & 300 are both I6 engines and the same hardware should work just fine for both of them. Where guys get into trouble is swapping from the 170/300 to the 302/351 and needing to change the frame mounts. In your case the existing frame mounts should work just fine and at worst you'd need 300-specific motor mounts but I doubt you even need that. The stock engine mounts should work with either I6.

Don't think so......believe that 300 was a (full size) truck motor only. & I don't recall seeing any in 4x4 configuration.

But I was wrong once before.... ha... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
