Default V-6 Rearend

I got ahold of a 1994 camaro V-6. I have so many questions about this car its unreal. I was wondering if the rearend and suspension could hold up to a V-8. I would build the rearend if it is worth building. One more ? is it easier to drop the motor out of the bottom or pull it from the top??? Thanks for the help.

To answer the first question, no, the rear end sadly wont hold up to a v8. Theoretically it will work, but the only question is how long.

Its MUCH easier to drop the motor out of the bottom via the kmember than anything else. I can drop my 3.8 in under an hour. (But, lets just say i've done it a .. few .. times.)

Any other questions, feel free to ask. Thats what im here for
