I've got a 92 RS V6 now but I am putting in a V6 turbo. Mine is a coupe so that will help on twisting. But I need to know what the difference is between the Z28 of my year and my V6. Is the front suspension any different? I know the rear end is. And I can't even have the Z28 rear end. Its not strong enough. So I'm gonna put in a GN rear. But about the front of the car. Whats the difference? Thanks alot!

Aside from the Wonderbar and springs, I don't believe there's any major differences.

aside from stiffer springs and swaybars the V8 and v6 cars have the same body/frame. The rear ends are the same too. The only parts that I can think of that would be weaker on a v6 than a v8 would be the transmission. You're gonna use a 200R4 anyway ya? I dunno if the GN rear would be wide enough. its plenty strong but it has no mount for a torque arm. You'd need to swap all the brackets too because the GN rear end is a 4 link coil sprung axle like 1979+ mustangs and old Chevelles. I've been wanting to get a mustang v6 rear for mine. The ford 8.8" is strong as a Chevy 12 bolt and stronger than a Dana44. There are tons of mustangs to take them from.
