Ok, there is a good chance I will be buying an 01' Screw with a blown 4.6L in it. It is a 4x4. Has lots-o-miles! 160K. So since I will be yankin' the motor anyways and I have been having Lightning withdrawls I am thinking on do a Lightning motor conversion.
If I do it I will be purchasing a motor with harness and such. I may even try to find a totalled truck as a donor.
Now my questions:
I thought I heard that a tuner can make the NA computer function with the Lightning engine. True>???
I would either have to have a tuner do that or get the Lightning computer to properly control the 4R70W and Transfer Case. Possible>???
If my thoughts are correct this shouldn't be too bad of a job. Anyone think otherwise>???
Any info, feedback or opinions are greatly appericated. Thanks, -Mat-

 

I have done this. Keep the stock computer, it can be programmed to run the Lightning setup, harness and all.

The transmission would just be part of the tune.

 

Well, I'm going to pick up the truck in a few! Any more info is appreciated!!!

 

I replied on NLOC. Hit me up if you have more questions.

 

Thanks, I will continue my discussion with you there. Not much interest in this over here it seems.
I'll still keep everyone updated on the truck progress. -Mat-

 

You'd get more responses in the supercharger section. There are quite a few of us in there that have done the swap. And Nhtoc.com also.

 

can i have the blower for the 4.6?

or do you mean blown, like screwed up?

Chris,

Are you saying you are using a Lightning PCM and it is controlling a 4R70W Trans?

 

Some pics!

 

For having 160,000 miles the transmission is basically perfect, very odd!

 

Cam install gone BAD!
