Cool...I have been trying to find people who did the sc swap! I have a 2000 F-150 ext cab step side XLT...with a 2000 model lightning drivetrain in it! K&N cold air kit......long tube headers....2 3/4 pipes, x pipe, 40 series flows. Just put a posi unit in my 8.8 rear. I want to list pics soon....its fun! I think the next step is to take it somewhere (lkocal place is called RPM tuning) and get it Chipped and supertuned on the dyno.

Ford indicates that the oil will last the life of the vehicle. On my old 89SC with an Eaton M90, I change it every 100K. It has 450K and still pushes 15psi all day long. Can't beat Eaton's for long-term reliability.
