The big issue is the bolt pattern.  A Jeep Dana 300 uses an SAE (round) 
pattern.  The Jeep and Scout Dana 20s, and the Scout Dana 300 all use the 
same "Texas" bolt pattern.

Thus, the Scout Dana 300 can be bolted in place of a Scout or Jeep Dana 
20.  But it takes some doing to mate a Jeep Dana 300 (round) to a tranny 
originally setup for a Texas Dana 20.
