I have an 89 gta with the v8 but i found out it had been previousely wrecked and the chassis is bent. i am planning on finding a good body and chassis use in place of the one that is on my car. i was wondering if the body pieces and chassis are different on a regular firebird than on a trans am. i need to find out in a hurry because there is an 89 v6 firebird with a good chassis and body for sale that i am interested in. if you can help i'd appreciate it.

The body/chassis assembly is the same. Some of the suspension components are less "performance oriented" on the V6 model, such as springs, sway bars, steering box, etc. But if you have a GTA with all the good parts there should be no reason you can't swap everything onto the V6 car. My car started out life with a V6 as well.

so if i buy a regular firebird, i will be able to change over the body pieces as well as the springs and steering parts?

Yes you can. The only difference is in the ground effects. Which Firebirds do not have. If you wanted to use them you can mount them on the Firebird body.
