Most drivetrain parts and some body parts are interchangeable, the largest issue being the larger bumpers on the '73 vs the '72.
Nope, not even close.

400 Turbo-hydromatic transmission. FYI: The 501 was not the c.i. of the motor. It was a designation for the Cadillac engine family, which included the 472 c.i. and 500 c.i. engine. If your car is the Eldorado then it is the 500 c.i. engine. Other than the Eldorado, you have the 472 c.i.
To lift a 1973 Cadillac Eldorado, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Use a hydraulic floor jack, placing it under the designated lifting points, usually near the front crossmember or rear axle. Lift the car until it reaches the desired height, then secure it with jack stands for safety. Always check that the vehicle is stable before working underneath it.

To help a 1973 Cadillac Eldorado convertible run cooler, consider upgrading the cooling system with a high-capacity radiator and a more efficient water pump. Adding an electric fan can improve airflow, especially in stop-and-go traffic. Ensuring that the coolant is in good condition and at the correct level, along with regular maintenance of hoses and thermostats, will also help maintain optimal operating temperatures. Lastly, checking for any blockages in the cooling system can prevent overheating issues.
