Need Info on slant 6 to V8 swap

I've looked into converting my /6 for years. General consensus is that there's a small enough weight difference between the small block 8 and the completely over engineered /6 to where torsion bars and brakes should be fine. It comes down to the handling, if you're looking to go through the twisty bits a bit quicker then you can now, you're going to need a stiffer front and some bigger brakes.
