No, as of now there is no easily readible way to use the 4 valve Navi engine in the Lightning with the S/C. I was looking into for a breif moment and found that the easiest way would be to use all the stock upper top end of the Navigators and order KB's S/C kit for it, but then you must think about wiring/ecu contrlling, an exterior intercooler, and a few other issues...

The only way for it to be really sweet you would have to go turbo. If i could find an intake to bolt the KB to i would be all over finding a set of 4valve heads

The Navi can be done with an Eaton, but I agree, turbo or KB would be much easier. I have done a Navi with Termie blower setup, looks stock, but a real PITA to put together all the pieces.... I would post a pic, but I can't seem to figure out why I am not able...:shrug:

Do one and go turbo, otherwise just go built 2V.

I agree 100%. Of course, I'm biased though. I'm doing a turbo Navi in my L epper:
