OK Need help Please doing a V6 -Lt1 Swap HELP!!

OK so as you see in the title Im doing a 3.4 swap in my 1995 Camaro & going to and already have a Lt1 with a T56 trans , I have since had to change so much stuff I cant belive it .

Im now to the point I went to go put the Lt1 motor mounts in & found my K member was different fun fun fun .

So heres my question when I get a Z28 K member & bolt it in will my V6 parts that are in the car bolt up to this K member like the A arms , struts , rack & pinion , gear box spindles , rotors , calipers , or will all this have to be changed also ?? PLEASE help soon I have a Chance to buy a K member cheap if all this stuf will bolt up or Cance to Spend $500.00 on a complete front end from a Z28 From the K member to the calipers & rotors to the gear box & rack , let me know what you guys know & has anyone done this or know someone who has????

THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE , I want to have this motor put in by next weekend!

JOSH

The suspension pieces and steering rack are phsyically the same from the v6 to the v8. The only difference being the v6 rack has a higher steering ratio and requires more turns lock to lock and the LT1 springs have a higher spring rate.

good answer. There are some other things you might want to consider doing befroe you put the motor in though like replace the throttle cables, both of them. Also if you didn't already know the radiator will not work from a v6.
goood luck
