Well I have an '82 V6 car that I'm going to be building up with a V8. It's a base model V6, but I have an '84 z28 parts car that is being hauled off so I want to make sure I get everything I need first. So what all stuff is different on an '82 V6 base model and an '84 Z?

-Springs of course, but I'm gonna lower the car and get new springs and struts (for a V8) anyways.
-Motor mounts for the sbc, but we'll get new ones
-Sway bars, I pulled those. (hopefully you can buy new bushings and mount bolts right?)
-Quick ratio steering box, but I'm going to use an S10 manual steering box anyways so I don't need that
-Rear end posi, but I'll be better off with a new one heh
-Wheels, pulled them

Am I forgetting anything? Any other suspension parts that seperates the Z-28?

 

no ground effects? special hood? inside parts different or in better shape?

Yes you can get new swaybar endlinks and mounts.

 

Yeah I pulled ground effects and hood and whatnot, but I wasn't sure about the suspension components, but I think I have everything covered now it seems. Thanks a ton for the reply

 

the whole front bumper cover is different, the exhaust might be different but donit go with stock exhaust, and i dunno about the rear spoiler but that might be different too

 

I’d pull whatever is in good shape, it never hurts to have extras.
