So ive always been wanting to do this...
swappin a 4.6 stroker into a 80's Yota pickup.
The unibody just seems like it has so many limitations as far as fabricating goes.. sure you can plate it etc...
i guess im just going for the "best of both worlds": a very stout engine with plenty of low end torque on a frame that i can weld anything on and not worry.
overall goals:
Ford 9" rear. leaf sprung.
Waggy 44 front. 4 link using links/springs/shocks i already have.
stroked 4.0L
tranny?
tcase?
37/38's, 5.13's?
i understand that anything can be done if you throw enough money at it but i dont want this to be a showcase buildup or anything even close. i just want a solid frame that i can build a cage off of and whatever else i decide with enough power/torque to turn 37/38's.
i want it to be a quality build on somewhat of a budget
So what do you guys think? its going to take a while to gather parts, axles, a motor and build it etc...
Thanks,
Shomsky
