I had a 65 hardtop with the 300/4sp. It was a T-10..............What you need is a bellhousing for the 401, I don't think that the 300 is the same pattern, but I could be wrong. You will also need different motor mounts,

Your best bet is to take the engines out of both cars and compare what you have, you never know, everything may just bolt in.....but, I doubt it.

The easiest thing would be to put the 401 with the automatic in, even if it is just until you hunt down the right parts.

BTW, moving this to engine forum.............
