Joe,
I have a 545 in my w300. I just pulled the truck out and drove it the other day, I'd be happy to take some pics if you're interested. The 5 speeds have a different 4 bolt pattern than the 435's and they have no rear mount meaning you need the bell with it's own mounts. All I needed to do was relocate my crossmember forward to share the rear leaf spring shackle bolt (w300 cross has holes for the 435 trans mount *and* dog eared bell mounts). The shifter lines up about 1/2" from where the 435 does and only requires a slight reshaping of the shift lever with a smoke wrench :-). Let me know if you want pics.
