front end swap

I have a 78 2wd blazer. It has a bad fender and hood. I bought a really nice 85 complete front end. Can anyone tell me what all has to be done to put the 85 front end on the blazer? I know the cowl areas are different, but what else.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: front end swap

Off the top of my head, you will need

The wiper linkage (posts are different)
plastic cowl panel cover
core support
fenders
inner fenders
hood
...

Oh, and here is another article on the swap, it shows mostly the grill, but is important

I am sure I forgot something, but should get you started
