Ya, don't give up the ghost yet. I have not heard anyone definitivley say that it won't fit. Find out for sure b4 you let it bother you. Might just go right in...Could be an easy mod.-too early to get concerned imho.
One of the experienced mechs here might pipe in b4 tomorrow, I would also call a few shops and ask folks who have done this sort of thing several times. And I love second and third opinions as well.

And if you find out for certain that it can't work, the buyer might be real cool about it. Think positive, this is the way we all learn.
