What front end components do I need to remove and which can stay? I have a donor car to do the swap. I know coil springs but we are going new with them, what about the A bracket (sorry for the term, I forget exactly what it is called) that the coil springs rest on? Can someone do a quick list for me please? Thanks.

the control arms are the same for 6 and 8. You'll need V8 springs, spindles, steering linkage(you can keep the existing box but thats all), and a preferably the V8 swaybar or beefier aftermarket replacement.
