So I'm considering adding a new dimension to my rebuild of my 2000 camaro. I really like the earlier style 93-97 nose. It looks more aggressive than the " catfish" I'm gonna put the older style nose on the car with a 3inch cowl hood. Has anyone else done a front end swap like this ??

Wow , never heard of going backwards. Probably reverse of the newer swap. Fenders, bumper and hood. Yes I do think the older ones look better.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake
96' Camaro M5 to A4 conversion, alot of mods . GT35R Turbo full suspension. Built engine

What about the intake? The earlier cars had to use the angled throttle body / intake vs the straight setup in 98+? Did that have any impact on how the rad / other things may have been setup? That's the only thing I can think of that may be an issue with the swap outside of getting the parts?

I had always assumed part of the reason for the change in 98 was the air intake going to straight from angled on both the LS1 and the new 3800 intake. Does the 98-02 hood have more vertical clearance than the 93-97 up at the front?
...also, I forgot the widebody kit existed. Lol.
If you need any measurements from the front end of a 93-97, there's one I'm pulling apart currently in my garage.

this idea for my project may die as i dont wanna sacrifice performance, i may do something different with the exterior all together..
