3.1 V6 to LT1 V8

Will I need to do any suspension changes to my 91 V6 if I drop an LT1 into the hood? It just dawned on me that my car wasn't designed to hold a V8 engine and was wondering what kind of suspension changes I will need. THanks.

Not totally sure, but I thing the springs mite need to be upgraded. Can't remember if GM used the same springs in 91-92 for v6 and v8 powered camaros. I'm sure if you check with the dealer they will tell you.
