There was a thread last week or so asking this question - it can be done but there's a lot more than one would think that needs to be done ... and why ??? The 73 is unique.....

Probably the same amount of work to swap the whole nose,
plus you'd need grills,brackets,bumperettes ... it would get pricey.

The 1973 is my favorite C3. If it were me I'd leave the 1973 alone and find another Corvette more to your liking.
