Modlbldr Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 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. Later-
Joe Handley Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 If that kit is based off the extended cab n/a F-150, it's probably the standard valve covera and intake for that engine.
Ryan S. Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 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.
Kris Morgan Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 What the others have said is true. On a side note, to clear things up. The engine is supercharged, not turbo charged.
Modlbldr Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 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. Later-
Chuck Most Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 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.
