Will a Chevette front end handle the weight of a V8?

I have a project car with a chevette front end. I would like to drop a V8 in it but am being told that the chevette front end will not handle the weight. If this is true, does anyone know of an upgrade kit for the front end? Any help or info would be appreciated. Thanks,

Your best bet would probably be to relpace the springs with some heavier duty ones.

Google that online. I know there was one site that recommended changing specific front end parts. It seemed like a lot of extra work, but would support the weight of a v8.
