I would suggest replacing them. More added weight throughout the car because of the V8 + components going in, and you would want to compensate that extra weight and give it a nice ride. Don't cheap out now or you'l pay for it later.

I left the 4 cyl springs in the front of mine, but did put the v8 in the rear.
