if youre that dedicated, it could be done swapping the subframe and fenders. i doubt the subframes mount the same, and then youd have problems hanging the fenders

I'm in the same position - I've gotten my hands on an entire front end from a '99 fbody, what exactly would it take to put it into the 3rd gen?
