EZ A body V8 Swap?

Hello,

I am likely going to be building a budget pre 73 A body with a V8. The car currently has a /6 and an automatic and is complete.

I have parted several 73-76 A body's and a few trucks etc. I have most all of the linkage etc. from all of them.

I also have a 72 v8 with manifolds etc. that came out of a dart.

I would like to use what parts I have on hand to get it together as cheaply as possible.

The end goal is a DD type car that is as efficient as possible while still getting good MPG. Not a racer, just a fun car that won't eat me out of house and home. My diesel is good on fuel, but it is close to $4 a gallon I would like to get a car that can pull low 20's for MPG.

Here are my questions:

1. The /6 904 and my 85 Diplomat 904 LU are the same length, correct? Same mounts and same yoke?

2. Will the 72 /6 shift linkage work on the 318 /904 combo?

3. Will my 73 and up 318 A body throttle cable work?

4. Lastly, I have a new radiator out of a 79 Volare with a 318. Will that likely fit?

Thank you for any direction you can give. This isn't a rocket science build I realize. However, I have never touched a pre-73 A body.
