I am looking for a 99 lightning head havent been able to find one anywhere for cheap, anyone please let me know

 

HI!... All "99" to "03" (some "04" Heritage) "P.I" heads are the same, LIGHTNING or regular F-150.Should be a easy find. I have a set but will not seperate. Complete from cams to valves.

 

Why do you need a new head?

 

i just need the one head, but if have to go with both, I need to know how much and if they will fit the stock 5.4l single over head cam motor, let me know asap

 

blew spark plug out of the head cause of too much boost, need a driver side head, let me know.

 

Why replace the entire head? Is it so damaged that you cannot install inserts? This would be much cheaper.

 

the head is a complete loss, i need to replace the entire thing yes

 

hey did you say you had the head or heads i can use, if so how much. my email is smittycb1982@sbcglobal.net

 

I don't think that you understand... You drive a lightning and you are asking for cheap heads? C'mon now just to own a lightning you shelled out ten grand more than for a regular F-150 (and that is a low estimate) so that being the case if you find one I wouldn't be too picky about price. I'm not trying to be a royal *** but seriously... you are contradicting yourself. AND I understand the urgency of wanting your truck back together, I have my baby torn apart right now too, but quit being so demanding in the respect of replies from the other posters on this site. Remember, NOONE HERE HAS TO HELP YOU!!! That being said your best, most cost efficient route might be to go with an OEM performance head (or something of that nature) with a little more aggresive cam, that would most likely keep you from having the problem with too much boost again. To run it though you would need to Replace or possibly re-flash your ECU (I don't know that you could make the current ECU work by using a Flash tuner but I'm sure Mike Troyer at Troyer Performance could answer that question) I know all of that equals more money but if you are already blowing plugs because of too much boost then I think your only logical step is to increase the performance of your valves and cams. If you have that much pressure on your plugs you have just as much pressure on the rest of your valve train. Just my thoughts take it for what its worth.

 

now i dont know much about these newfangled engine packages...are the heads aluminum? if so dont they have steel inserts in them factory?...zap!

 

They dont have inserts. But the heads are aluminum, and the spark plugs usually have steel threads, which is not a good combination.

 

well what good is that? jeesh for the $$$$$$ you shell out...first thing we do with aluminum race heads is put inserts in every hole...what is the factory thinking?...zap!

 

first, I know that lightning parts in general arent cheap, so by me saying cheap, I know that means aither right at or over a grand, but whatever it takes. I already have an upgraded crower cam setup in the truck, but i also did a boost bypass that put about 22 pounds or so when it was only runnin bout 10 to 15 before and thats max, so it just blew. So, like i originally said, if anyone has the parts available, let me know and we can chat a bit.
