Im sure they will fit fine. Im not sure what all is required to make the
swap work right but im sure both the spindles, the prop valve under the
drivers side rear wheel and possibly the MC need to go with it. (This is
my wild guess!!)

Rut-roh Shaggy!! 
That would be the freeze plugs. They aint soposed to leak. 
They get pressed in but depending on what tools/experience you have, you
could do it yourself. (I did mine but that was when I had the engine out
of the car.) 
There is a temp freeze plug you could use that might or might not last
you until it can be fixed proper like. 
HTH!
