Hey guys, I'm normally over on the SN95 side of things, but wanted to pop over here real quick and get some questions answered.
First of all, I've always wanted a Lightning, but due to life events and all that stuff, could never really pull the trigger on the right one. Now however, a nice 2002 has popped up locally with a blown motor. Now I know that the 5.4's are a decent motor, but I was wondering has anyone thought of doing a 7.3 Godzilla swap in one?
Foxcast Media briefly touched on this very subject a while back and showed a Harley Davidson F150 with a 7.3 swap in the process of being done. I've tried looking through his playlists and he lists I think it was 2 videos where he's talking about it a little bit, but never really gets into the nitty-gritty about it, like what works and what doesn't work, and we don't know if he ever finished it because I can't find anymore videos on the matter out there.
Has anyone done this swap on a Lightning before? Any potential problems to be aware of? Oil pan clearances? Motor mounts? Trans ideas? 6 speed or 10 speed?
