V6 to V8 suspension upgrade

Hi everyone,

I've a friend who's an 82 Firebird which has had the V6 removed and a 327 V8 installed. His car feels rather unstable at speed, and I was wondering if there was a difference in the springs used in V6 powered cars compared to V8 cars.

Anyone know?

Thanks

YES! V8 cars have different springs and shocks.Stiffer but can't give any numbers how much stiffer
