Since when did you know so much ?

 

Cr was meant to be 16.0:1 with flat tops. He runs 116 fuel, oxygenated.

Block was all aluminum. His estimated loss was around 22-25k for the entire thing.

Crank was around 2500 itself. Had JE pistons and billet rods.

 

No boost, straight NA

 

A know a little about things that should over my scope and not enough about the simple things.
Makes since, right?

Ouch. 16:1 just sounds like danger

 

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!

 

Right, not simple minded, but complex lol.

But yea, sounded like you new what your were talking about for sure.

 

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.

 

Yep, do it once, do it right.

 

It's something like that

I though I got a steal (which I did) but there is so much more to the swap than I thought. I got all this from an 01 60,000 Lightning.
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
