i'm pretty sure they would do!

you cant use blocks on the front because it aint a leaf spring! either gotta cut the springs, or buy nice new ones!

Ford Escort blocks will do on the back if you file off the top locating nipple.
U-bolts are no good as the back axles the wrong shape. 4 high tensile straight bolts each side is what you need.
Could always just chop the front springs?

hmm, if i were a moderator on this board, bretty boi would've been banned after such a response :wink:
disregarding a forum's search function is one thing, but insulting other members with big keyboard-balls is just lame. grow up

i think this might have an effect for you in the future, next time you need to know something about a 300 and post a topic here.
