Yea, I was just telling someone else that's only the second factory new crate lightning engine I've seen on eBay in the last 10 years or so.. I bet they get close to asking price.

Ya you set it in there using factory 4.6/5.4 engine mounts, choose Trans, wire harness, fuel, and custom driveshaft length.

Its not a true bolt in, but neither is doing an L swap on a N/A truck

Would it work for a 4X4 ? 97-03 F150? How versatile is it? That engine supercharged would be impressive. I really don't care about the mounts so much lol.
