Yes it will fit but you will need pretty the whole body front. Meaning fenders, bumper, bumper cover, headlight mecahnicals, etc. If you have everything it will bolt up perfectly fine. Since this one guy put a Camaro front ona Firebird. He just swapped everything over.

Yup true that looks kinda strange. personally I like the rear end of the Camaro better. ANd well...I like the 3rd gen front better also...but if your gonna do a swap it looks nicer if the firebird front is on the. Instead of viseversa of a bird with camaro front.

You forgot the hood. You'd also need that. Might also need to relocate the battery and aircleaner depending on your setup. I think it would make the car kind of a Frankenstein, but then who am I to talk... I have TransAm gfx on my Camaro

it was just an idea that ran thru my head.. i didnt think bout the hood being different..

ya i think ill do that and put like a pinto hatchback on it.. then ill go get those ***** lookin z24 emblems.. get like a 4" exhaust pipe.. and to top it all off, get a 5-6' tall wing on the back...

i hate the front end of the 82-84 maros (mines a 83).. if it wasnt gonna be any more difficult than using the front end of a 91-92, i was gonna try that cuz i got access to a 92 firebird for free, maybe.
