    Not without mods. Its the wrong contour for a comet hood. Dimensionally...IIRC The stang grill will be too wide for the opening on the Comet.

    Your still gonna have to make brackets/mounts to put the stang grill on there. Thats if it dimesnionally fits the opening...

    Unless your an expert on body work/plastic welding dont even bother..... You can get a correct grille off someone on here. Or you can buy a billet maverick one that's pretty affordable.
