Hello All

I'm doing a 6 liter swap into my 2001 3.8 camaro.
I have a chance to pick up everything I 'll need from a donor Z28, minus drivetrain.

So my first stop is Suspension.
The goal is to reuse as much as I can from my existing suspension ,to keep costs down and also avoid stock redundant parts I don't need because they will be upgraded to after market suspension as budget allows.


I checked off items I know I 'll need from list below.
There are somethings I'm not sure If I need to replace ,
since some of that stuff is same on my 2001 camaro.

I need help figuring out If i missed anything or something I do need but listed as not needed.

Front Suspension-

K Member - Needed
Rack & Pinion - Needed
Motor Mounts - Needed
Springs - Needed (Already have new shocks & Strut Mounts)
Sway bar - Not Needed z28 cars had same sway bars.
End Links - Not Needed
Spindle - Not Needed
Tie rods - Not Needed
Upper & Lower Control Arms - Not Needed
Brakes, Calipers & Rotors - Not Needed

Mid & Rear Suspension:

Trans Tunnel Brace / Cross Member (Same thing?) - Needed?
Torque Arm - Needed vs my stock?
Rear Control Arms - Not Needed
Pan Hard Bar- Not Needed
Sway bar - Not Needed

Rear Differential with Posi- Needed
Brakes, Calipers & Rotors - Not Needed

All bushings & Ball joints unless need to be replaced / greased.



TIA

Only thing that I could add is that the struts for the v6 may be valved different than for the v8. May want to look into that.
