I'm not positive on this, but I beleive you will need the whole rear end. Shock, Swingarm and Axle. The shock wont' bolt up to the 300ex swingarm. If you do the complete swap, you'll end up with about 1" longer and 1" or 2" wider.

your gonna gain a little width and a little length, it's not much but it will help with stability. if you have all the parts available why not.

i have heard that when racing the 350x rear shock on a 300 is stiff
is this true?
i cant have a stiff rear shock since i race mx
if it is true,is there a quick fix to make it not stiff

you want a stiffer rear shock because you'll be jumping alot bigger jumps then you would be trail riding. other wise you'd be bottoming out all the time on the track.
