Regardless of ground fx, it'll all fit. You just might need to drill holes to mount ground fx or fill holes if your not putting any on.
But the radiator core support is not a bolt-in piece, so you would have to cut it out of the donor car & weld it in to yours.
If the body is good (or better than yours is), you could just put your V8 in it & keep going....

front bumper would be different if he did have ground effects on the 87 and not on the 83. it'll fit, but its not a direct match for whats on there (cant reuse the front chin fx)

I just didn't want him to get the impression that the fit depended on ground fx, because it doesn't. Especially since the fenders & the nose would be coming from the same car, making the matching between them a mute point.
