Re: 92 nose on a 84 bird?

All bird noses and bumpers will bolt up

The ground effects must be used for corresponding years and beware that mounting holes for the ground effects moved for each new style

In short, 91-92 nose will bolt up
If you have ground effects you cant use the old ones with the new nose
If the new nose has ground effects you have to redrill holes for them

Re: 92 nose on a 84 bird?

the only one that i know of will be the one on the base Firebirds. It'll bolt right up and basically looks like the one you have now but no grille inserts, just regular non-grill inserts.

The headlights bezels might have to change as yours are really square and the later ones are a bit different....but its a lot less work then the 1991 or 1992 nose swap.
