You can find crate motors all over the internet, look it up in google.

Now you can either bolt the lightning motor to ur current tranny and have it tuned via SCT so the PCM thinks its just a bolt on supercharger, or you can change out your tranny for a 4R100 and get a Lightning PCM.

I think you can get do the L swap and tune your PCM and beef up your tranny.

Then ya just need the intake assembly and a tune.
There's one in the classifieds on this site!

I don't know if you even can get a NEW one from Ford!

Here's a nice complete setup with 23,000 miles on it. Looks new...lol
