ill just let you know B.... getting the truck to drift like that will be a task if you are not familar with suspension setups and are able to do your own fabrication. I dont wanna rain on you, but its not straight forward

well to learn to drift, you don't need power and you don't want to start with a truck brother. check out the drift section, you will be able to read up on techniques etc.

Have you started collecting any parts or even gathering prices and estimates to see if this project is affordable for you?

the best thing about it man is that if you buy a motor you can just throw in the back of the truck and take it haha wish a 240 could do that

yea but its a pain and you have remove **** and make sure **** dont get dirty and its a pita to remove the motor from the inside of the car. the truck can just do it on a spontaneous whim no need to plan or remove anything.
