1998 front clip swap into 1950 Buick Convertible?

[buick50]

Question: Hello everyone, im new here. I live in Guatemala city, Central America, I own a 1950 Buick Super Convertible 56C that I am just going to start reestoring it.

My idea is to install a LS Engine on it, but Im thinking in installing the compleete front clip of the 1998 camaro (that I already have) into my Buick, the question is.....

1. Is this possible? any Ideas? there is any link showing a swap of the 1998 camaro front clip?
2. How to start?
3. What measurements I need to take care of?

This is my first time doing a swap.

Thanks for any Ideas to build my project, here are some pics of my car.

I'm sure someone smarter than me will chime in but I would think you biggest problems are gonna be shock towers and how to mount it to your buick.. are the mount point close enough that you can reinforce the body and isnt your car a full frame? will it be that much of a benifit Im sure some body has aftermarket for your car what about art morrison?

I did a g body clip under a 53 Buick a few years back. Worked very well, its now a daily driver. Used the Front and Rear Clips under it . It set real low and drove really nice. It was about a 84 olds cutlas the frames are same widths. Used satition wagon spings and sway bars on it with some good shocks. The owner has sence put air bags on it . So he can drive it in his drive way cause it set so good (bad driveway).

yes my car is a full frame. and just like you think I was worried about the shock towers.

I think art morrison have a front clip for my car. All I wanted is to take advantage of the 1998 camaro front clip, that I Already have:rolleyes:
