Not an A body. A fun Dakota build

Can you swap the nose to a '91-96 nose? I've heard a v8 swap on the earlier body is tough with the flat nose making the radiator and accessories a pain. I guess the Shelkby Dak's came with some "one off" parts to make it work?

Not saying it isn't possible to v8 swap yours, just curious if the later nose could be swapped to make it easier. Asking for a friend. :D
