Pic n mix fork internals

Ok, so I've currently got a Recon Silver TK coil fork. One of the guys from work has replaced his Recon 351 fork as he got a new bike and they're getting a bit tired.
Would I be able to take the u-turn 130mm coil and the motion control damper from the 351 and install them in my current forks so that I also have the benefits of power bulge, post mount etc? Less importantly, the recon silver has white lowers which look good on my bike and I'd like to keep them if possible.
Also, as both forks are QR, coil sprung and have 32mm stanchions will I be able to just lower the new (to me) crown and stanchions into my current lowers seeing as they have the u-turn travel markings on them?

In a word, no. The damper will not fit as the upper tube thickness is different, and the spring is too long.0

Ok cheers, couldn't find any info elsewhere online and wanted to make sure before mucking about with them. I've serviced them before, but never done any tweaking, so wanted to make sure before I risked ruining my forks.
Thanks for the prompt reply too.Big guy; small air!0 -
However, a Tora Race damper should fit nicely.0

That's great thanks, pretty cheap as well, maybe a birthday present to myself. Motion control looks pretty interesting, should be a good upgrade.Big guy; small air!0
