Try to find a g-body site or grand prix specific or at least cutlass or something. It looks alot like my monte carlo as far as floors and lay out gos, but of course the dash is different, but I've seen it put into a monte carlo.

I bought some stuff from a monte carloss website and alot from ebay.

what engine does it have?? if it has the 301 dont try and put a cam in it, i hear they run good as long as you keep them stock. if you try and hot rod a 301 they run like dog poop.

yea it has a 301 in it and it had another 301 but it got took out and a new 301 put in it if i ever do put a another motor in it. it would be a 350 it is upgraded to a 400 but the motor still runs just needs a little gas in the carburetor every once in a while

The floor pans,Windshields,and Various Other Misc. parts are interchangable with any 78-81 Little A-Bodies, and 82-88 G-Bodies..
Models included:
Buick Grand National (1982, 1984-1987)
Buick Regal (1978-1987)
Chevrolet El Camino/GMC Caballeros(1978-1987)
Chevrolet Malibu (1978-1983)
Chevrolet Monte Carlo (1978-1988)
Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (1982-1988) 1988 RWD model was known as Cutlass Supreme Classic
Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais (1978-1985)
Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser (1978-1984)
Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon (1978-1987)

Pontiac Grand Prix (1982-1987)
Pontiac Lemans/Grand LeMans (1978-1981)
Pontiac Grand Am (1978-1980)

Personally Engine wise, if you are going to go to the trouble of replacing/rebuilding one, I will tell you a 455 Poncho with a 200-4R fits nicely(Ok slight shoe horning my apply, but in the cars current condition, it would be much of a deviation from what you already have to do) ;D

Yeah as long as it's not exterior sheet metal,larger interior pieces(Seats can be interchanged, but  fabric can very for models) and certain engine parts, all Little A/G-Body parts are Universal with each other....
