DO IT. you gotta do a swap thread. If anything it will keep you motivated to keep going.

I have lightning stock pistons and rods you may not have yet. I'm assuming you already know its prob not a good idea to run more than 5-6# of boost on a high compression stock setup. I also have other stock lightning parts I would give you if you need them as they are no use to me. Prolly gonna need a couple bucks for the slugs tho. I removed and replaced my 5.4 twice. If you have any questions let me know. I ran into alot of crap that nickel and dimed me to death I distinctly remember that. Wish I would have done a build thread. Good luck with the project.

Also what year were you wkn on? Do you have PI heads? I would also find out if your valve springs are adequate for s/c application. Not trying to be a downer just giving you an idea of what to expect.

The valve springs should be fine unless he's pushing like18 pound of boost

I sent a pm. I am running stock lighting boost 8lbs. I have heard not to go over 10-11 on the already high strung 4x4's. Just let me know though, very interested.

If one person is interested, it is worth doing. I will take as many pics as possible.

Talked to JJ @ Woodbine Motorsports and ordering my tuner tomorrow, he needed the code off the computer or I would have had it oredered today. Since I cant find any of the hoses, they will have to be mocked up? Anybody live close to Illinois that wants to help, free beer and pizza!

Beer!! Scraped up a few parts to other than the Ps n Rds. As far as the hoses if you need I can send you pics of my setup. It's factory other than the in line PCV oil sep. gonna need a longer PCV line if you dont have one. Be sure to put a good hose clamp on the little one that goes to the back of the intake while you can get to it. let me know when you get that far.also your going to need this spider lookin radiator hose. Goes from the bottom left side of the rad and splits 3pr 4 ways.
