302 Radiator question ??

Swaping from 300 to 302 and i have a foxbody 302 radiator, will it go into my 83 f-150, they are very similarly sized and I'm on a budget. The radiator works great and I want to use it, I know it will fit but how do i mount it. 300 is still in truck, so I need to know if it will work with the f150 mounts or will i have to use something else, if stock mounts don't work, what can i do ?

That is a hard question to answer.
Is the 83 f150 plastic/alum type or the old copper type?
What type is the foxbody one?
How are the 2 radiators held in to each body?
You have the 2 radiators so I think it would be easy to look them over to see if it will work or not.
