    Hi and welcome to mightyram. You may want to look at using another truck frame from a 2WD as there are pitfalls in converting it to rear wheel only. The front end suspension and steering is completely different between 2 and 4 wheel drive and dropping the V8 into the 2WD is a piece o' cake. The suspension would need beefing up all round to handle the extra weight and torque. Check out Fordubishi's build thread
