not if you do it right, you can take a '03-'04 cobra motor and do basicly the same thing for a lot less

Is it a direct bolt in? I want it to look almost like factory, I am just hoping the only thing I have to do is tinker with the ECU to communicate properly, I don't wanna have to heck anything up in the engine bay, I wanna be able to match up the harness etc.

I am sure this would be much easier for a 03-Up body style expedition, theres a member on here now doing it with his F-150. he said the only real issue is getting the ecu to communicate.

I have seen a Ford GT wet sump block dropped into a lightning I posted a link of it.

I mean I really don't know what route to go to at this point, I want something that will drop in thats plug and play, and the least thing to do is tune the ECU etc. almost like a factory drop in, I mean I could always drop in the Terminator motor, and stroke it to a 5.0 and make it a cammer, but I don't know. But then I saw that Ford GT Aliumnum block. with a wet sump. built up in that lighting but that probably cost a fortune to build. it was pushing close to 800HP.

That's the nice thing about a '03-'04 Cobra motor, they come stock from the factory with forged crank, manley forged rods and manley forged pistons
