Might you be able to post a pic of what you want to perform this swap on? That'll give us more to ponder than just what you're thinking about.
I mounted a V-GT Luxe this year in place of the Campy NR DR my MB was sold with.
vs:
The V-GT came off a donor FUJI I found for sale a few blocks from home. Only fiddly bit was its B-scew adjuster needed some work to bear properly against the DO/frame boss but that proved to be a relatively easy proposition. Results were quite gratifying once I got things tuned up again, didn't take long either.
