everyone sais u'd "need a new suspension" which i can understand. but.. the v8 isnt that much heavier, equivelent to a fat guy driving over a skinny one. besides, if ur gonna mod the car, u'd more than likely be doing suspension too. now the LT1 is a expensive engine tho, but if u have one available, or a trashed Z with engine in it.. ur all set. another good part is changing VIN isnt necesary, so u can save on insurance, vin will say v6, it's a v8. another would be evryone willthink it's a 6er.

downfalls would be worth less when time to sell, 120mph spedo, 5.5rpm redline tach. and it takes tme [:@]lol.
