I have these weird dents in what seems to be a somewhat arching pattern over the wheel arches on my bed. In both sides. Not sure what from but i wish they weren’t there. Anyone know what could have caused these and or how i could possibly go about removing them or covering them up? Here’s the Image link. Thanks.

Rich rebuilds put a busa engine in a rabbit and i believe they used a ford 8.8 rear end. Maybe that could be used? then just mount a short drive shaft from the busa and or whatever engine i choose transmission and just make some linkage to shift it up front?

Could this be remedied by maybe a rear end swap with a different gear ratio? Cboys put a Busa motor into a kei truck with a ford rear end and ik that is a much lighter truck but that thing ripped. There’s was bed mounted and i could potentially push the motor into the back and make a custom driveshaft. Could also eliminate power loss.

Would the rpm’s not be an issue when trying to engage the clutch on the busa? Or would a heavy enough clutch fix that?

It’s an 84 720 2wd it’s an HF37, FS5W71B. Single cab short bed

Thank you for being so helpful. Would leaving the transmission for the Busa engine and somehow mating it up to the 720 transmission help overcome the clutch issue or would it just cause the Busa’s transmission to slip and or would the clutch on the 720 still slip? Would i be better off making a gear reduction off the busa driveshaft and mating it to the transmission that way say with double roller chain or maybe a gearbox? I feel like that would help keep it transversely mounted. If anyone has any suggestions lmk thank you!

So if i were to keep rhe transmission in first it could be a viablee option or no? Cause i may be a dumb dumb but what it sounds like is the issue is the rpm the engine has to be at to make decent power id be toasting the clutch to get the truck rolling?

This video gives me hope it can be done because thus is by no means my daily and is going to be the project. V

Ive been looking around for awhile for an engine swap that wont be super difficult for space and i think a hayabusa engine would be easy enough to get runnnig give me the power i want and also give me room to upgrade and get more power. Just want to know if anyone has done this or thought about it with maybe a different bike engine but these are fairly inexpensive and make good power. Does anyone think it couldnt be done or shouldnt?
