'83 240 parts for an '85 200

I recently had a no-start problem with my '85 240. Turned out to be the fuel pressure regulator, and I was able to take 1 from an '83 (same part #'s).
My question today is... should I accept the offer from the 83's owner and put that car in the back yard as a parts car?
They both have the same engine... 2.3L. Are the external motor parts interchangeable? E.G. starter, alternator etc. I also need the steering rack and have verified that the '83 has a CAM type as does mine. Both are power steering, will it swap out?
I'm assuming the headlights and tail light assemblies will be the same. Being that they are both wagons I also scored rear door gas shocks that work!
Comments?
