The export brace and monte carlo bar are the cheapest thing to make the car handle better.

im sure you know this but just in case.... you do know that you cant just put the engine in right? you gotta upgrade the whole drivetrain, brakes, etc.
but to answer you question, you dont have to, the I6 cars are the same as the v8 cars other than the drivetrain, spindles, brakes etc. but i would reccomend it because there cheap and make the car handle better
