| 700 hp and an 85 mph speedo??? That's weird!
As I recall, there was a Ford engineer (Gary Siegel?) that was on the original Ford Sport Truck Team that developed the Lightning used to be on this board. He owned a 95 Lightning. He said that they seriously considered a big block, but they wanted a more all-around performance truck and thought that they could get the power they needed from the 351. He was also very adamant that SVT had absolutely nothing to do with the original 93 Lightning. After it was developed, SVT had Ford transfer it to the SVT group as a companion to their new 93 SVT Cobra. |
