There is a nice 780 for sale in the neighborhood. I calle dup to get the info and it turned out it was the 6cyl, bummer. It is a nice car with a nice price though so now I am considering it. I am a B230 person and know my way around it, could I adapt to the 6cyl, are any parts interchangeable?

avoid the 6cyl like the plague. If you can buy it cheap, drop in a good 230T. Be sure that the climate control works, or you've got another project on your hands.

Just find a 760 T donor car of the same year and swap in the engine, trans, intercooler and wiring harness. Should be a very straightforward swap.
Check out the 700 FAQ for more conversion and replacement info.
A 780T is pretty desirable- the V6 is not. (My opinion, others may disagree)
