78 930 powertrain swap to 77 930 body?

I wrote off the 930 a few weeks back in a front-end with a tree. The mechanicals are OK and there'd been a lot done to the powerplant/drivetrain, so I've salvaged back everything for a song.

The first question is -- I've found a sweet 77 930 ROW (no sunroof) w/ a drivetrain of questionable history. How "swappable" is the 78 drivetrain/brakes/etc. into the 77 body? I'm assuming it won't be too tough, but I've got to visit the clubhouse for confirmation.

Second question -- if this 77 doesn't work out, does anyone have suggestions as to where to find either a 930 body (87 would of course be perfect if it had a 5-spd on board already) or a 73 RSR clone body to host the powertrain/brakes/etc. from my 78.

I'm in no rush -- I fractured my spine and will be in a halo for at least the next 9 weeks, so if you come across something weeks from now, please PM me.

Thanks in advance.
