myillwillinc · 04-19-2007, 02:16 PM

anyone else have anything pics to post on thier progress? mine is going so slow right now it's killing me. but on a good note, i pickedup a 03 cobra radiator for it, that should keep her cool in the 100degree summer here.

r3dn3ck · 04-19-2007, 02:23 PM

I'll try and put some pics of the intake with the fuel rails mocked up tonight... that ought to hold you over..

myillwillinc · 04-19-2007, 03:15 PM

ever find me a lower lightning intake?

myillwillinc · 04-19-2007, 06:20 PM

here is what i got so far. i put the intake on it to see how it looked...

VOID · 04-19-2007, 06:32 PM

nice, it looks good dude, powdercoat those plates black and grind down the sides

myillwillinc · 04-19-2007, 10:08 PM

i'm just gonna pc them flat black. not gonna do any grinding on them since i'm on the look out for a lightning lower to tweak.

VOID · 04-19-2007, 10:41 PM

hey myillwill... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...spagenameZWDVW

there you go. say thank you.

VOID · 04-20-2007, 12:08 PM

wow, 400 bucks huh, that sucks.

myillwillinc · 04-20-2007, 01:08 PM

cool, thanks man. if i had 400 bucks i'd be all over it.
- note to everyone building up here. i just spent 26 bucks for bolts to put the power steering and ac on and the nuts and bolts for the header to mid-pipe. so if u have a donor engine get as much with it as possible. this is trip 52 to the parts store...

myillwillinc · 04-20-2007, 06:56 PM

well for everyone doing their first 5.4 swap, i have a couple of hints.

1. put the exhaust manifolds/headers on BEFORE you install the motor.
2. have a donor 4.6/5.4 with ALL the nuts and bolts.
3. don't count on anyone to be there to help with the heavy lifting or hard parts of the install

and here is how close the frpp headers are to the frame...

had 2hours of fun putting thos epuppies in...

VOID · 04-21-2007, 06:51 AM

so is some exaust gonna fit, that seems really close to the frame.....

r3dn3ck · 04-21-2007, 07:11 AM

all things come to those who fabricate

myillwillinc · 04-21-2007, 09:01 AM

those are frpp shortie headers. i had a bbk x-pipe befor enow i'm going with a mac prochamber. all u need to do is pull them apart about an inch. then they bolt right up. the long tube deal fell thru so i'm putting these on now till i can pickup some lt's to work with...

Its looking hot man, mine has become a money pit, working on complimentary mods while I slowly build up the engine.

myillwillinc · 04-21-2007, 03:50 PM

update - mac prochamber doesn't fit under there. the pipe itself hits the frame and i don't care to mod it. i'll slap my bbk xpipe back on till i do the lt's

wvudodrill · 04-22-2007, 10:48 AM

Is there a way to put a 5.4L supercharger from a Lightning onto my 4.6L Mustang GT?

VOID · 04-22-2007, 03:00 PM

don't think so but not 100% sure, but it will be $!

VOID · 04-22-2007, 03:01 PM

so why don't the prochamber fit? i dont get it? Did you take pics?

myillwillinc · 04-22-2007, 07:20 PM

the bend in the pipe is real sharp 2 inches before the flange. and it would take some cutting and welding to make it fit. but since the prochamber is pretty beatup i just will go back to the x pipe till i do the lt's

VOID · 04-22-2007, 08:12 PM

o ok, well i'm going to get my exaust guy to do mine so "i'm" not going to sweat it
