i got a 97 sunfire
are most cavalier body and engine parts swappable if there from the same year?
hmmm.... that I'm not 100% sure on... I know when I did my cavfire conversion from cavalier to sunfire front end all the parts bolted straight up.... that was 03+ to 03+ for both cars.... everything was there and I didnt have to custom fab anything for the swap. It was pretty straight forward. Other years I'm not sure of... I would assume that similar years would yeild the same results... and just the differences would happen between generations... but I could be wrong.... anybody wanna fill in on this? If anything I dont think too much would be different for you to swap like that... if you were around here I'd sell ya my whole cavalier front end... just sitting here... haha...

Theres a sticky at the top of this forum with info on all 3rd gen front swaps.
yeah but it doesnt talk about cavalier sunfire swapping just sunfire to sunfire swapping.
i was thinking my 97 sunfire with a 03 front end i think ive seen it somewhere on cardomain
has anyone atempted a sunvalier?
Same thing would be done. I thing the main thing is swapping over the hood latch. The '03 was single bulb so you shouldn't need to change the wiring harness and everything else is direct swap (unsure about crush guard though).

The sticky covers swapping of all front ends. Please read a little more or pm me with any questions. I can tell you almost anything you want to know or can point you to someone who can.
Yup biggest part for me was rewiring the headlights from the single to dual of the sunfire lights. But a little trail and error and I got it, then it was all quite easy.
