Re: swapping front ends
There's actually a 92 bird with a 91-92 Z28 front clip in one of my local junk yards. IMO, it looks Frankensteined. The front and rear wheel openings are different also. I wouldn't do it, but that's just me.
Re: swapping front ends
i doubt it would be hard to swap the fender flares from one car to another. Just cut them off and weld them up. The only problem I see is if you want to use the Camaro ground effects. I'm not sure if they fit the rear Firebird bumper or not. The "TransMaro" in that link has them all around, so I'm sure it's nothing too complicated.

Re: swapping front ends
thanks alot ive got a broke down 91 z28 with no motor but the body is in great condition so if the camaro front end fits on a firebird what about the firebird front end on the camaro
Re: swapping front ends
i don't see why not. the only thing i can judge by the posts is that firebird fender flares stick out more than a camaro's, so head-on, it may look awkward...but a far as bolting-up, it would work
