5-lug swap ?

today I took out the 4-bolt rear from my donor car. It is pretty rusty, my original plan was to just swap the complete subframes but the condition of the control and trailing arms are in pretty poor shape (alot worse then my current pieces on my car) Also there is a slight grinding noise when I turn the axels so I'm having second thoughts on even using the rear diff. I might just do the 5-lug swap and wait until my 3-bolt fails and then replace when needed plus it was a PITA to just remove the stuff off the donor I'm sure it is even more fun reinstalling everything /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
My question is will the 5-lug hubs match up to the 3-bolt cups? I'm sure they will but I just want to make sure. My fronts don't look to bad so I might still replace the entire front control arms and knuckles since they have the energy bushings.
thanks,
ed

The hub and the mount for the axle, the three bolt section, are two different parts held together by a large 27mm(?) bolt on the inside of the cup. It should be possible to run any combination of them.
