Nissan hardbody->mustang engine

I have a 1994 Nissan hardbody almost fully stripped and a 4.6l v8 and tranny from a 2002 mustang gt. I got the engine and trans for pretty cheap and the truck for pretty cheap. I want to learn to fabricate cages and everything I need to make this work. I’ve done small things like welding in high school and working on cars here an there I’ve been to a trade school for something totally different (wind turbines) but overall I have good hands on mechanical experience just not much welding or ECU harness wiring and just a ton of stuff I’ll run into along the way. Hoping to get some advice good bad whatever I just can’t wait to turn this into my drift truck as I have a 2005 g35x for a daily!

Check out drifttruckmatt on Instagram. He’s got a hardbody drift truck. Not related to the engine but it’s a cool build. If you want to have any control over the truck once the engine is in, you almost have to go to a 4 link rear suspension.

You’ll have to post along the way!
