I had a recent thread that was fairly similar to the one your reading now. I am writing a new thread because there were not many responses to the first one. I am planning on putting a 99 cobra motor in my 99 V6 in order to do this i have to upgrade and strengthen my chasis and suspension to handle and support that new power and weight. What kind of parts do i get to accomplish this. Also do i purchase the cobra parts or the V6 parts or what? And as far as i know i think the 99 cobras come with independent rear suspension. Would this affect anything if i didnt have that cause i am fairly certain V6s dont come with IRS? Please let me know what kind of parts i need to get so my car can handle this power increase.

I know that only Cobra's have the IRS. I would suggest getting Cobra parts instead of getting v6 parts. The only thing that i can think of is the rear suspension, in that case i think that some aftermarket GT parts that are rated for the power that your engine will be making will be just fine. My brothers 92 t-bird has an independent rear suspension and then only thing that we notice it does is give him a smoother ride... i dont think it will put power to the ground any better than an 8.8 rear with an auburn possi in it.
