00 f150 back to stock vortech

i think i might do the sc lightning swap so i decided to sell the vortech system i have on my truck. i got a good price on most the lightning supercharger stuff and just need another 1000 worth of stuff including a tune. What do i have to get to put my truck back to stock. like air filter system and stuff like that. thanks

If your going to do the L swap,,you'll need an L air intake not a stock one!

there was one in the classifieds for $1400 with extra's

the vortech kits are not a swap between 5.4 and 4.6 like the procharger kits are... I called vortech and they told me a 5.4 kit will not bolt to a 4.6 but I do not see or understand why.


you'll need a stock air intake assembly and whatever else you swapped out for (injectors maf etc)

It appears you talked to a tech that doesn't know his own product line. Here is a link to the install manual that clearly shows the 4.6/5.4 are the same kit.

The pulleys are different. I think crank pulleys are different. Think most of it is the same other than the small details.
