Bryan, Mark Drillock outlined this swap several months ago. I think the top
or bottom brackets had to be modified somehow or maybe taken off a 83+ donor?
Also the fan wiring had to be changed. He might have used the later fan
shroud too? If he doesn't reply check back in the archives under authors for
his name and I th/ink you will find his post. FWIW I paid $275 for a German
82 radiator from my local FLAPS..

Good luck!
