Put both hard drives in the old box, but booting off the old one.

Then use fdisk to partition up the new drive the way you like (don't
forget swap space).

make your filesystems

Then mount up the new partitions in temporary mount dirs and cp -a 
the old file-systems to the new hard drive partitions.

Once you are finished, use grub-install on the new disks MBR and 
edit the new /boot/grub/grub.conf to make sure you can boot

If you have a custom kernel, make sure you also have a stock RedHat 7.3
kernel and modules in grub also. (the modularity will help)

Chances are the only thing you will have to change are the 
/etc/modules.conf
/boot/grub/grub.conf
/etc/fstab


You might have to recompile your kernel after you get the box booted.

Keep the old disk handy, and try booting off the new disk.
Fix the problems as they arise...
