Of course its possible .. you just need the hood / headlight / mounting panel / bumper cover .. and then re-wire the headlights.

 

Check out this front end.

It's really really easy too...I went the other way, myself, with a 95 hood/bumper/lights/header panel on my 96...I'm probably the only one to do that, splattered has an 89-93 SC front end on his 94-95 bird, these cars really never changed much 89-97 it was all bumpers and lights and hoods, that is it. Simple stuff....fun to expiriment with different combos too

 

here is a 95 for sale with the 89-93 front with hood

They didnt bother to change the headlights ... nice gap.

 

The question is, who would want to?

 

Is it possible that a 89-93 front end can be used on a 94-97 T-bird?

Yes..

Here's a 89-91 front end on a 95 Thunderbird with a 4.6L..

I was surprised they didn't run into engine to hood clearance issues with the flat 89-93 Thunderbird hood..Considering Ford added a slight bulge to the 94-95 hoods..

One would assume that bulge was added to accommodate the 4.6L engine not found stock in 89-93 Thunderbirds..

91-95 Cougar hoods are no taller than the 89-93 Tbird hoods and they had the 4.6. Hood clearance with the 4.6 is greatly exaggerated, my 96/7 swap fit fine even with the hoodliner in place

 

I actually think those "retro" body kits linked to in the post from a few years ago are kinda cool looking. I should buy one for my tired, worn-out '97 4.6 liter T-Bird sport. Too bad my interior is so crappy looking.

It would almost be worth it, were parts no so hard to come by for these cars.

What 49 Ford has triangular side windows dipping into the door? I like the 49 Ford too but the low airy MN12 body couldn't look more out of place for the front and rear of one.
