You are just discovering what the Ford engineers found out with the Gen 2 Lightnings. They had to disable the knock sensors. Blower and other noises being read as knock. They had to do a last minute tune on all of them after assembly. Each was slightly different.
If you are concerned about...
I am close to needing a new motor for my Gen 2 Lightning. Was thinking about a twin turbo 5.0, but I really want a BIG V-8.
Please, don't make me beg......(I was even thinking LS....in desperation)

Cost is $25.97
I think I will buy one to try...

2- change to Navigator 4 valve heads and have...
