So i bought a 2001 alero that was t boned pretty bad. The engine still runs though, so i thought i may try to fix it. For one, is the entire front cradle part of the frame, or a stub that could possibly be replaced? I have an entire grand am front setup that i may put on it, but i dont know what motor it had in it. The alero is a 3400. Will it matter for the radiator and such, or will anything fit at all?

If you need a radiator or any other parts I do have that car that I can pull parts off of.

The front end ,door skins forward... can be replaced with 99+ grand am parts. I wouldnt mind doing a GA front conversion on mine. Just waiting for a good deal on a rear wrecked GA to come along, since it seems cheaper to just buy a whole car thats wrecked for cheap, than get individual new parts...

even on 99 and above they do??
then it'd still fit cause alero's are in 4 cylinder too.
you guys talk shit more than you do cars.

The 4 cyl and 6 cyl have different mounts. In the fact the LD9 and the L61 may even have different mounts, not sure on that one. Maybe one of the 4 cylinder guys can tell you.
