What the heck do i need to do the job? come on you Lightning guys
I have a 1998 5.4L 4 x 4 and i was wondering what exactly it would take to turn it into a '98 lightning motor. Supercharger (pretty obvious,) pistons, camshaft, valves, rings? i have no idea what is different. Thanks for any information.

Lightnings are my dream and I know every minor detail that they have, and let me tell you... it would be ALOT cheaper just to buy a crate 2001 L motor(~$3800) than to convert it over yourself. post in the Lightning forum and they'll tell you the same

I want one at that price, about the same price as a supercharger.
