Project Frankentaco/Harley Quinn

hello y'all I've decided to start a thread about my project truck thats gonna take me 762 years to complete and is gonna cost 9.8 trillion dollars... not actually but boy does it feel like it.
first thing my basic idea.

K24A2 --> T56 Magnum (its the closest to fitting in stock shifter/trans location that hooks up to a K) ---> to a custom driveshaft ---> ford 8.8 rear end.

I also would eventually like to do a cantilever rear suspension and coilovers all the way around, Bedliner and Paint, pretty wheels,wide ish body, custom exhaust, some aero etc

I'm still ironing out some details like
what am i gonna do for a parking brake (wheel chocks for temporary)
how do i learn the tool to make toyota brake lines properly attach to ford calipers
how to weld a transmission mount and motor mounts with no practice (lol)
etc you probably get the point.
Any tips and tricks, thoughts or encouragement helps i will update this thread as I buy things install things and anything i may run into besides being broke.

 

Read learn practice

Get a good double flaring tool !

Look into Copper/nickel brake tube find the size flare nuts ford calipers use !! Make your Custom lines.

Any friends that can weld to get you started? Welding and building Trucks is almost a very needed skill.

Reach out make friends in your regional forum. Always good to let people know where you live!

 

I managed to pick up a K24A2 (supposedly has forge pistons and lightweight rods will confirm in the future), turbo manifold, ebay 80mm turbo, ecu, harness, and water pump for 2k off a friend

 

I can't find time to rotate my tires, don't forget the big shot nitrous kit, even for show... good luck!

 

Well a slight update for yall as it's been like 2 years I've ironed out some more of my plans. I got my rollpan installed, my interior is almost completely finished just looking for subwoofers and my harness/cage to install.

 

Also have my parts list drawn out (mostly) and I've been slowly checking stuff off and installing. Hopefully gonna be making significant progress soon.
