Would it be worth it to do a 00 m112? I know they're leak prone & less desirable. Looking at one on the Lightning HD buy/sale/trade FB page. I'd still have to collect a **** ton of parts, but he only wants $350 for the blower & upper intake. Just don't know if I should hold out till a nice 01-03 unit comes available.

I'd hold out and wait for a more complete package, hell look what jferg got for 650. Granted if it was shipped properly but still..the deals are out there just gotta be patient. Took me a year to round up my complete setup. But yes definitely wait for a 01-04, more of a peace of mind thing!

Yeah, think I will. No sense in cheaping out on this. Would love to get ahold of a wrecked L and have all the necessary parts but that's not likely. Thankfully, Jferg forwarded me a parts list originally from 4x4dave so I have a good idea of what's involved. You guys will be a great asset when I do finally start on it.

Lower intake, midplate, 42 injectors, intercooler, m112, plenum, accufab tb, throttle bracket, fuel rail, 4 COP's, thermostat gasket, upper rad. hose, pulley bridge and tensioner, all bolts except blower bolts, boost bypass, egr, iat
I'm sure there's more that I am forgetting but I got it all for $600. And fingers crossed, they will be getting paid for this week.
$300 may not sound bad at the time for a 112 and upper intake but better deals, with more parts are out there
Exactly. orrrrr.. go big from the get go

What was that lightning motor you guys said to get? I think it was $4400 and built to take 18 pounds
