I love the front end of the 83-88 BIIs and cant stand the 90-92 ones. However I like the interior of the 90-92. How hard would it be to take the hood fenders lights and grill form my totaled 88 and put it on a 90?

Haven't done this, but from what I have seen at the wrecking yards, so long as you used the radiator support it should work. The body lines on the doors would be your only cosmetic problem I think.

he is right everything bolts on the doors are not a problem , the radiator support will need to be changed with the splash sheilds th bumper will be a bit of work , you will need to cut off the frame ends the bumper mounts to on the 88 and weld them on to the 90 , you might be able to it on take the time to line things up. when you get the bumpers off you will see the differance.

unnecessary
theres an 87? running around town with an 89-92 front end on it, looks good, all lines seem matched up, so i dont see why it wouldnt work the other way around.
