It will "bolt" to a 67 304, but it May not fit in your vehicle.
342 is probably a typo for 345...
The IH 5 speeds were put in (an order option) the full size pickup and travelalls. From what I have read, they will not fit in scouts without modification - the transmissions are taller, wider and longer.
The 5 speed bell housing is unique to the 5 speeds - a 5 speed will not bolt to a 4 speed bell housing.
You will need the 5 speed clutch linkage as it May be different from what you have.

I would agree that the 342 is a typo. It is either a 345 or a 392.
Since you are putting it in a full size it should fit since the 5-speed was an option at the time.
It would be best if you got the whole truck for the transplant. It is hard to know exactly what all you will need.
The shift linkage May not work or will need some sort of work around since the donor is a cabover.

Most of the 5-speeds were 5th direct--basically a 4-speed with an added gear between 2nd and 3rd. The shift pattern was l 2 4 at the top and r3 5 on the bottom.
The 5-speed od transmissions were basically a 4-speed with an od gear on top. 4th was direct and the shift pattern was a bit odd.
