Question t/a front end on a z28 ever been done?

Just wondering I have a lt1 z28 and I want to do a ls1 front end conversion but is it possible to put a t/a front end on a z28?
I love the look of a ls1 z28 front end but i love the look of a ws6 t/a even more.. for some reason I just want to try something different and out of the ordinary as for the difference in body grooves i will make it blend as if it looked like it came out of the factory looking that way so dont worry if this conversion goes through i wont make my precious z28 look like trust me! please let me know thanks!

Interested in seeing the results. Everything should bolt right up, but as you know, not everything will line up with the rest of the body lines. Have also wondered about doing the opposite, using a Firebird body. I think someone has actually done this or did some photoshops of one. But I dont remember there being many pictures or maybe it was cause I was on dialup and didnt wait for them to load.

he should have at least put some sort of ground effects on the front bumper...the side shot looks terrible when the bottom line of the car is not even..

That particular vehicle is known as a "mule". The worse it looks the better, in the eyes of the developers. They do not want to give away the looks of the new model. The interiors are usually worse, since they have the previous model's fittings and the new model's mechanisms.
To compare apples to apples, you need to find pics from someone who cared what the end result looked like.

Do a search on ls1tech for Transmaro. A guy did exactly what you're thinking about. It was painted matte black or satin black and he never 100% finished it I don't think. The topic was at least 15 pages long and he got a lot of crap for doing it mostly because he put an RKSport Sport Back hatch on it. I thought it was neat overall, but the rear of the Camaro doesn't balance out well with how front-heavy the T/A bumper is and how big the WS6 hood is. It looks out of balance without the huge T/A spoiler on the back.
