Hey I'm looking for some knowledge on how to put the lightning engine in my 4.6, are there any shops that will do it? Where is the best place to find a lightning engine?

Also, what does "exc." mean in the description? I'm looking for an engine less than $2500-2600 and less than 65,000 miles

exc = Except. Example 5.4 except Lightning.
