Default 96 camaro to 98+ ws6 conversion?

i have searched and found info for lt1 camaro front end to ls1 front end and same deal trans am to trans am but nothing for camaro to trans am. i guess the biggest question or difference to account for is the flip up headlights. how big of a deal is this to do ? thanks

That sounds like it would just be a bastardized car.

a bastardized car...maybe to some... this will sound stupid because it is but i always wanted a camaro but i like the WS6 hood and front bumper better so i figured why not have both as long as its not gonna have big gaps in the body seams.

I can see the wow factor in it, and it's very doable as the front subframe's are the same except for some minor details. But the front of a TA will fit on a camaro and vise versa. You'll have to change the doors also. I don't see wasting the time and money on this project, but to each his own. You just better post pics when you're done.

I don't think the firebird would look good with a camaro rear end, but I'd like to see it.
