My dad has one............along with the rest of the 07 cobra- bastard! I cannot drive it either. It goes like hell, man it's quick. Ugly? not so, but big, there is noooooooooooooo room under the hood. Sean Hyland had a good engine for the trucks, it was somewhat of a prototype 32V 500+hp 5.4 for a Lightning I'd assume, 14 grand bought it a few years ago, cheap really. What is crazy is that for 44 grand, you can get a Ford GT engine! Holy ***** that's alot of benjamin's and Lincoln's.

I look at it this way, if the alternator were to go out, I am sure it would be a pain to change. But if you just spent $40k for an engine, you could afford to have someone change it for you...

not quite the same but close

https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=250368

of all the swaps and build up on this site this one is way above the rest. the install looks factory, the dyno number are stout and the guy is a class act all the way. He tells you the good and the bad and shares all point of the build. No would of, should of, could of, here.

a whipple , 4v dailey driver that make 600 hp, who has this beat?

I have over 100K on my truck and I haven't had to touch my alternator yet. I would gladly put that engine in my truck if someone gave it to me.
