Default how hard is a gs to gst swap

ok i know everyone says its a pain. now lets say i have a running GST with no title. so i have everything needed. how hard would it be to put it in my gs body. would i have to change the hole front clip? or would the parts from the gst bolt up? would i need to cut the mounts out and re weld em in mine?

Almost everything under the hood needs to be redone for 2g's. Not an easy nor cost effective swap.

If its a 2g forget about it.
