V8 on a V6 to a V8

[Viper_Storm]

Confused? good.

if i buy the v6 camaro, could i put v8 suspension parts on it? like strut tower braces, and and shocks / springs all that kind of shit? im wondering becasue all the shit is for eiter v6 or v8... now i want to get an ls7 stuff in the engine bay but i dont wanna upgrade suspension for a v6 when im only gonna convert to a v8 later... i guess im asking why are the parts marked v8 or v6? does it really matter?

I dont see why you couldnt.......

You could on a 3rd gen so I don't see why not on a 4th?

so v8 parts will fit, but what would be the down side of putting the v8 parts on v6?

[wrightz28]

Especially when you can put 'vette parts on....

What are you talking about? Im assuming hes talking about the same gen Camaro.....am I wrong?

About the question, Im not 100% positive, but pretty sure

[Viper_Storm]

side note, we are talking about Suspension for a V6 camaro that will eventually have an ls7.

You can normally just install the WS.6/SS optioned 1LE suspension. Should work, we are talking about a 4th gen right?

yes, but i want to have my suspension ready to go when i put the engine it, its gonna be custom anyway, but i was wondering like what the affects of putting parts list as a V8 part would be?

[Mr. Luos]

It handles better?

I wouldn't see any bad affects of it. The only advantage the V6 has in handling is the location of the motor in comparison to the V8.
Upgrading your suspension will just aid in that.

[Mr. Luos]

Wait....

I think I understand now. You are asking if having the suspension from a V8 on your V6 will ruin it for use with a V8 again?
No, it won't.

No, it won't.

i want to use V8 suspension on my V6 becasue later i will be swaping for a V8 but before i swap i want to get the suspension built before the V8 ever goes in, will setting a V8 suspension on my car hurt anything?

[Viper_Storm]

i dont want the car to look weird or handle shity becasue hte heavier engine isnt in it yet... :s kinda understand what i mean yet?

[King Of Crunk]

yeah why not go with the v8 stuff...it would have NO downside at all except maybe the cost....good luck with it...

[King Of Crunk]

no the v8 wouldn't be THAT much heavier than the v6... the only reason that it would handle weird is if it raised the car up....which i'm sure it won't it would just have stiffer springs and everything...
