Hey guys, still working out the kinks in the plans for my project truck I plan to do in the next couple years.
There's two major things that I want to do, they are to do a EFI V8/T5 swap, and to bag and drop the truck. (Planning on this being a damaged 4th gen so I can get it cheap and have a good project)
Now, was wondering was will I have to reinforce the frame of the truck so that it will be able to stand up to the forces of the V8? I've heard that you should reinforce even the normal frame. Also, how are the legality issues of frame notches/street capability?
