Will this package be compatible with the '01 F150 Supercrew 5.4 Harley Davidson? What type of performance gains should expect with this package and an ATI Supercharger @ 9PSI? Thanks for the info.

 

that sounds good sal. Be sure to post a price on those. Point exacty on the block and crank, why have your truck torn apart for weeks and pay for the machining..... By the way, last night your products page was down, don't know if there's trouble today. I'll check back in a few.

 

my understanding is that the factory Lightning cranks are very, very good and will most likely handle 1,000 HP.

 

lightningbolt: maybe thats why sal said this..

 

Clonetek,

Yeah I'm sure it is why he recommended it.....
just throwing in my supportive comments....
and don't get too crazy at mardi gras.......

 

That's good to hear! To bad you didn't have this stuff like a month ago, when we started our project. I look forward to see alot of quick Lightnings comming this season.

Noel, you will never be as fast as we are .

 

You can't properly balance the assembly without the flex plate , harmonic damper and pulley. Without those items, new or from the old engine, the balance job is worthless. So without purchasing those items along with the crank and the block you're no further ahead than pulling and building your own engine.. If you're going to get the assembly balanced than who gives a rats a$$ if the "substandard" Manley rods are off a little. That will be taken care of during the normal balance process anyway.

 

internally balanced

 

Hey, what a concept, instead of buying an extended warranty, invest in the short block. Mod the hell out of it, if it gets loose, put in the other and continue, then rebuild the one that is on the floor. The price of the block is almost the same as a 60,000 mile extended warranty.

Then there is a lot less stress about having to go to the dealer to get another pure stock block. That is, If they don't void that expensive warranty.

Doesn't matter, the process is exactly the same.. Whether your engine is externally or internally balanced you have to have every major componant that comprises the rotating assembly during the balance process. I've done many balance jobs on both types (external and exnternal).

 

What a concept! I was wondering whether I would have enough room in my garage for a spare motor, and then it hit me, my old coffee table is looking kind of ratty, maybe I should just park the extra block in my living room and lay a piece of glass on top. Errr, I don't think my esposa would go for it.

 

Hey alphadogy, do you still have that traction control system for sale? lightningfastsvt@cs.com

 

Yeah, a number of people have e-mailed me to inquire about it, but I have been too busy ****ing around with my headers to reply. Maybe I will take some pics tomorrow and post them in the classifieds. Then again, maybe I won't, procrastination is my middle name.
