I am interested in buying a firewall back shell from a 78 corvette. will all of my 82 parts fit on this shell. Like for instance

doors
shifter
ecm harness
hvac
windows
front clip
dash pad

etc. etc.

How will the body mounts line up to my stock 82 frame? In the event the bird cage is rotted anywhere how much work would it be to swap my rust free 82 bird cage into the 78 shell.
 
I have a lead on a 1980 body as well. So these same questions apply to this body as well.

Providing both of these bodies have clean titles a positive side would be I could ditch the CFI and run a carb and just title the 82 as a few years older.
