A while ago I bought a partially built kit of the Lightning from a thrift store. The engine was mostly built and has the turbo set-up on it. However, on a tree in the kit is a second set of valve covers with, what looks to be, ignition modules, a second intake manifold and something that looks like a third intake manifold.

My question(s) is, what set-up is this for? There are no mention of these parts on the instructions. Is this for a non turbo set-up? These trees seem to go with the kit because other parts on the trees correlate to part #'s on the instruction sheet.

I'm working on the same kit. I think I read somewhere that the extra parts are from the Harley version of this kit and are just extras for the parts bin if you are building the lightening version.

I figured it must be extra parts from another version. Thanks for the responses, and yes, I meant supercharged, not turbocharged. My mistake. Either way, I think the engine will look great in my custom '65/'94 Mustang. Thanks again.

If you are running it in a Mustang, you might like to consider swapping out that gigantic pickup AOD tranny for a passenger car automatic, or a 5-speed stick from a Fox or SN-95 Mustang kit. Or, many of the parts off this engine will fit the Mod motors from existing Mustang kits.
