The frame horns are different. You will need to make some sort of bracket to mount the two main holes on either side. You could section in the missing pieces from a donor frame.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

You will need to add a rounded piece to the end of the 81 frame to make this work.
