Default LT1 to LS1 Front End Conversion

When swapping out the front end of the lt1 for the front end of an LS1, is it a good idea to replace the foam, or will the lt1 foam work? Also, is there any difference between the lt1 and ls1 fenders other than the side vents?

not sure on the foam, but the fenders are definately different.. the LS1 fenders are shorter and more curved at the top, and they are different where they meet the bumper

I probably wouldn't do it.... seems more trouble than it is worth.... however.... take you time and I'm sure it will work out fine.

I saw one recently and it looked amazing! Best of luck! Hard work, but you'll be so proud when it's done!
