I'm trying to install an SS nose on an '85 LS. I have the nose itself and I know I need new headlights, but what mounts and supports do I need?
What parts do I need for LS to SS nose swap?

You will also need the front fender extensions, and I think you will also need to cut down the bumper bar for it to fit. The SS also uses a bit of duct work from the grille to the radiator that is specific to that model. I am sure there is more, but that is all I can remember off the top of my head.
I'm guessing you have an SC, LS was 86-88.
For SC to SS conversion you need the bumper eggcrate support, headlight buckets, airbox in front of the radiator, front fender extensions and lower spoiler.
Also if your car has the optional lights in the fender you will also need different fenders.

im in the same boat. I had to get totally different fenders (with the extensions), the LS fenders body lines dont line up with the ss nose. Somehow i luckily found an ss at a local junkyard, i got both fenders w/ exts the headlights with the buckets and this panel for the hood latch and nose support for around $60 (on a 50% off day). Im still not done tho, I encountered a problem mounting the headlight buckets in, I might have to make some custom brackets of somekind. I know im missin some stuff but this is all on the srtictest budget. Good luck to you sir and happy building to you
