Lightning drivetrain in F350?

Has anyone ever seen or attempted a lightning motor in a F250 or F350 truck? We are currently looking into this project. the truck is a 2000 F350 with a 5.4 auto and 4x4. Any thoughts Good or bad Thanks in advance, kyle

that truck probably weighs around 7K. the lightning motor isn't enough to make it fast. it would be alot quicker than before, but would probably be a disappointment for all the effort

The transmission in it now won't take the torque. Just a thought.

I think you might have to go with a different engine harness ( or extend it ), the way it is done on the f350 is different then the lightning.
