About 3 years ago I found a 1st gen Bronco down in AZ for like $6k that was in pretty good shape.
I really, really should have bought that.

'90 Chevy 454 SS vs '94 Ford Lightning F150 MuscleTrux Wars Part 1 - Trucks! S10, E1
- Thread starter SID297
- Start date
The 1990 truck had a TH400 3 speed.
The Silverado SS didn’t have quadrasteer. The C-3 did have quadrasteer.
Part 2 is out:
So I just skimmed the first Ep again and noticed them trying to spin an FL-820S oil filter on the L. Shouldn't it take an FL-1A?
i couldve sworn Fl-820s is the filter for the 5.4L modular. I seriously doubt the windsor small block 351 uses the same filter.
Same here.
LMR says you're correct FL-1A Motorcraft F-150 SVT Lightning Oil Change Kit - 10W30 (93-95) 5.8
Tetz is going to have to answer for this mix up.
I had 2 friends with 454SS's back in the day. Both badass. One ran low 11's and the other had a fully built stroker and nitrous running bottom 10's. Both beasts on the street.
I love the 1st Gen Lightning. Still pissed at my buddy for selling his out from under me.

Very nice
Part 3 - Gen 1 Lightning gets a turbo:
wasnt it a rearmount setup? I cant remember.
Yes sir!!!
I think they both still look great.
Damn. I’m gonna have to catch up on these videos.

Part 5 is out:
I wanted to do a remote mount turbo like that on my 5.0 explorer. That thing would be fun with the full time AWD and like 400whp.
Parts 3 & 5 were a good view. Watched them while catching up on Live PD. LOL.
Next Ep:
So.... obviously late to this party, but i found my password again and here we go. My understanding is that they ( owners of the POWERBLOCK content) have released all the old episodes onto youtube, which is fun! I leftthe show in 2014, but stay in touch with some of the guys, Ryan Shand being one of them. As far as the filter goes, I am fuzzy on the part number, but whatever filter i spun on to the engine worked, held pressure, and filtered the oil, so perhaps there's crossover between some of them as far as gasket size and thread pitch. OVerall, i loved the performance of the truck, and especially the squires tailpipe system woke it up. I think we saw a max of 7 - 8 lbs boost but it sure increased the fun. Thanks for rewatching!!!! I'll have to do the same; it seems like that was a lifetime go. KT
