I don't think so

I think the coupes and sedans had different front ends. The coupes are lower.

Yup they are different...and that would be a Very strange swap. Typically it's the other way around!

If you do make the swap you'll need to do the hood/fender etc..

The reason I ask is there is a 560sec that took a middle of the grill hit, and there just happens to be a good 300sd front end attached to a parts car in my driveway. So the ? is will the 300sd fenders hood etc. mount to the 560 front inner sheet metal and doors?

They should, as people have gone the other way.
