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.

what if i change over the steering components to V8 and use V8 spindles, could I then reuse my 4 lug drum brakes for the time being?
