Interchangable parts?

Well, it really all depends on what you mean by usable...how much modification are you willing to do or capable of doing? For a Radiator its all about dimensions and location of inlet/outlet. when it comes time to mount it swapping your mount off an old radiator or fabricating one is always an option.

I once used a radiator out of an old fiat in my 73 Celica. I had to use my brackets, but they could be unsoldered with a propane torch...so like I said, take careful measurements, then go hunting.

As parts become harder to get (I know all about it having had 4 1st gen Celicas) you need to learn to use whats available, or stockpile when you do find a parts car. I found an exact duplicate of my supra down to the body color and interior for $500. Im in the process of stripping every single usable part and putting em in boxes in my attic for just such an occasion.
