Default Changing front end of an 86 to an 87-93 front end?

What would I need to change in order to run the 97-93 front end on the car? Could I use the same hood? What else would I need besides the bumper, headlights?

you need to change the hood, and the moldings if you want them to match.

Its a big pain in the ***, besides why would you ruin a perfectly fine *** four-eye 5.0?

do EVERYBODY a favor and save yourself the trouble, sell it to somebody who appreciates the 79-86 mustangs and buy an aero nose

Alright man your almost gonna make me cry. That is a great looking mustang and you really want to hack it up by swapping it over to a areo nose car. Theres a lot more to swapping it then you think. To do the swap you have to do a lot more then just put the nose lights etc on. You have to put in a new light harness, modify the dash harness so it splices in the new light harness since all the connectors aren't the same.
