I have a 6 cylinder firebird & wanted to put a small block v 8 chevy in it.
I am guessing it will mount,I heard the camaro & firbird sub frame was the same???
Anyway, Is there different suspention parts for a 6 cylinder than a v8?
I have some after market lowered rear springs I was going to run & wanted the front lower too.
Are the springs on a 6 different than a v8?
If so, & I use these,will it handle funkey?
Thankyou for your time...Tom

I have a 350 in a 6CYL car and all I changed was the motor mounts...The springs would eventually need changing unless you like it a little lower....I think that spring tension is supposed to be the same for 6cyl and SBC...I could be wrong...
