I have a chance to buy a lightning motor, that i would like to put in my stock f150. I was wondering if the fuel rails, water pump, power steering, and all that little stuff would fit on the lightning motor. what do you guys think the lightning has 18000 miles and he wants $5000 do you think it is a good deal.
The reason he wants to sell it is because he put the 6lb pulley on it without tuning it and he blew a hole in one of his pistons.

 

Are you saying that you want to buy a Lightning motor with a blown piston for 5 grand? Sounds a little high. Is he giving you the supercharger too? Yes it will fit with the wiring harness and PCM from the Lightning. Probably will need a tuner for other adjustments.

 

cheaper to make ur own lighting motor

 

thanks guys, yeah he would be giving me the supercharger, intercooler, headers, and of obviously the motor. I think i could possibly get it for $4500 you think thats still to high?

 

yup.. that is a good price for a good engine. A blown engine you can expect to put at least $2000 to make it right.

 

$5k is waaaayyyy too much for a blown engine. I wouldnt give more than $2K for it.

I agree, there is no way i would pay 5k for a blown motor. Especially if your only going to be taking parts off it.

 

agreed
