Default I-6 and V-8 suspension

Need help and advice on converting an I-6 to V-8. Can anyone tell me if the upper and lower front arms (NOT talking about the spindle) are different on an I-6 and a V-8.
In other words do I need to change the arms too ? As a Belgian mustang owner I appreciate your advice. You lucky guys live in mustang country, I don't.[:'(]

From what I know its only the springs and spindles that need to be changed as far as the suspension.

Thanks a lot. I forgot to mention I'm talking about the '66 model range.

Thanks again 347 stang. Your help in converting my non-imported Belgian stang '66 fastback into a manual V8 is much appreciated.
Though V8 was rather the exception here at the time and still is, I cannot resist the temptation of the V8 power and sound.
