Question V8 spindles on inline 6?

Hi,

I am replacing the front suspension on my inline 6 and curious as to if I could replace my spindles with V8 for now and just put the 4 lug drums back on? Finanically I am not ready to do a swap over but since I am replacing the front suspension I would like to at least do the spindles and coils so I don't have to take it all apart again.

??

No, because then you will have to change everything over to V8 steering because of the different V8 spindle tie rod locations.
