does anyone know how hard or easy it is to convert my 86 gt front end into a 87-92 front end?

You aint gann get any help on that. That is a mustang sin.

Well for starters your going to need the new front bumper, headlights, side moldings, grill insert, and new hood. Im pretty sure theres more to it than that, but hopefully it gives you a ballpark

Sell the 86 to someone and buy an 87.

since when? haha i am doing it soon to mine.

i was told you need the front, bumper, fenders, hood, headlight panel, headlights and then misc stuff but that is the big things

Get some fenders and the spatsfor a 91-93 instead of the 87. Theyll allow more room for a 16" tire/rim. Fender spats are the things with the scoop on them. Fenders from a 91-93 LX and GT will work.

Along with what WhiteFox mentioned, youll also need the front bumper support and possibly the impact absorbers. Also need the headlight support panel. A complete clip from a GT would be great but good luck on that.

Im not sure if the body side moldings will match tho. I think the GT had a wider depression in them than the others so new side moldings and rear bumper may be needed to make it all match.

No, that would be stuffing a 350 smallblock or any other non-Ford under the hood. Now THATS a sin.

i have an 89 front bumper if you want it. it has the headlight panel attached and the lights too. Its an LX front end if that matters.

You wont need different fenders. Just the moldings are different.
'79-'90 fenders are the same.
