Will front fenders and hood from a sedan fit a coupe? Also will the /6 K member need to be changed to put a small block 273 in it?
Thank you sir I bought this car when I was 15 and never knew about this website till this year it helps a lot I have a 77 grille so I was needing to swap the fenders and hood for the lower hanging hood to sit on the grilleYes, coupe and sedan fenders are the same.
To go from S6 to V8 you either need to swap k-frames OR use Schumacher conversion mounts. They allow you to put a V8 on s S6 k-frame. Now, if they're actually in stock, that's another question.
I tried to put a link here but for whatever reason, I was unsuccessful.
I’m looking right now thank you!Schumacher looks to have both the /6 to small block and /6 to big block mounts in stock presently.
Link: '73+ A, B, C, F, M, J-Body
Also do you know if changing the 79 hood and putting a 77 will I have to change the hood latch as well?Yes, coupe and sedan fenders are the same.

You are a life saver haha I have a four door parts car and was thinking I had to front clip swap from the 4 to coupeFenders and hood are the same 1976-1979. '76/'77 Aspen uses a trim piece in the raised part of the hood in front, to meet up with the Gen 1 grille. Hood latch is also the same.
In other words, all you need are the right trim pieces. No sheetmetal change needed.
You will need a 76/77 bumper and park/signal lamps though.
I got lucky and got 3 parts cars gifted to me lol one had a perfect grille and the others just came extraThe hood on my '79 Aspen came from a '76 Aspen after an "incident back in July 1989. Unlike now, at that time you could buy a new grille assy from the dealer for the outragous price of $120. Those were the days! lol
