Default converting to ls1 front clip...help

im wanting to convert over the the ls1 trans am front clip.

i know i need the fenders, front bumper, a hood, head light asssemblies.

do i need the radiator support as well? or will the lt1 one work?

what other parts from a doner car would i need?

my biggest concern/question is what i have to do/change besides the obvious ie: hood,fenders,bumper.

GIZMO does this to his Pontiac LT1 F-Bodies. Shoot him a PM- he probably can recite it in his sleep.

Everything bolts right-up. You don't need to change any part of the subframe. Make sure that you get all of the brackets and supports from the donor car.
