1275 into RB Body

I once again seek the List wisdom.

Will the engine and gearbox, etc, from a CB Midget fit into a RB Midget
body without major modifications?

The local high school auto shop teacher has as a class project, a '73 RWA
Midget (You'd like this guy; he's a gearhead with all kinds of
interesting stuff in the school shop:  '49 Chevy PU, '66 Ford Galaxy 500,
'69 Bonneville convertible, etc).  The RWA Midget's body is ratted out;
the sills and floors are virtually non-existent, quarter panels are
rusted out about 10 inches up, wings are flapping, etc., etc, but it
seems to run fairly well.

I have the body of a '76 RB Midget sans running gear; if the engine and
gearbox, etc, from the RWA will fit into the RB Midget without major
modifications, I may be able to work out a reasonable swap for some other
stuff I'd like. 

Can anyone offer any guidance?

Thanks,
