I wouldn't expect to get much resale value out of a used radiator. They're cheap enough new, that most folks don't even bother to check marketplace before just buying a new one.
At least mock up the 2001 radiator, shroud, surge tank, and mechanical fan, and see if they could be made to fit. That would definitely be the way to go if you can get the components to fit in nicely. The challenge will be getting the engine to sit in the same relative position to the radiator as it was in the original donor vehicle. This is so the fan and the shroud align correctly.

hoping the dirty dingo mounts can make it fit like the donor. but i wonder, if i slide the motor towards the front...wouldnt that make the trans moung not line up with the crossmember?
