swapping 4.6 for a lightning,HOW?
I want to swap my old 4.6 for a lightning engine. Where would I start? Where would I find an engine, and what are ALL the parts I would need to do it. Any help would be great!

You can use the search feature and you will find lots of information already covered on this swap. It'll cost lots of money in the long haul.

Welcome jmany,
Most of the memers here are very helpful. Such as the one who offered you a phone number to call him.
Hang around and you'll find some assistance.

The poster makes his first post on this forum and you give him crap. Check your attitude Talley. No body is impressed with you or your six banger.

My first thought is that for the expense of making this change, one might be able to do some upgrades and get darned close to the lightning performance. Even with a super charger, it seems the expense is lower to do mods to get her up to that H.P. range.
What do ya'll think?

I can remember way back when I first signed up when this EXACT same thing happened to me. Rude it may have been, but It does happen, Just like apprentice to journeymen... we all gotta work up the food chain.
Sorry if I hurt your feelings rocks.

Welcome jmany.
Glad to see another person from the New Orleans area. Good luck with the swap, but maybe you should consider just beefing urs up to Lightning power. With the L engine your gonna have to do some major stuff and use a L computer. Good luck either way you go.

Now before you jump in and defend your hero, think about how you would have felt if your very first post here was greeted with a response like the one Mr. wackoff gave to that poster.
In spite of some of you smart a$$es, this forum will remain friendly to new members.
Put that in your beer can.
