lightning motor problem?

astroman · 07-15-2007, 03:14 PM

hi! i am a lightning owner her in uk,i have a 2000 model,i think the intercooler has dumptd coolant into the motor and damaged 2 rods and 2 pistons,and put holes in block and sump,i was wondering if the block from the f150 triton motor would fit or if anyone can help with obtaining a short motor asap!!
its a great truck and want to see her running again we have finished the gumball rally across europe in her and are hoping to race it in norway begining of september so any help would be most appreciated?
many thanks wayne.

You need to post this in the Gen 2 section.

The 5.4 block from an f-150 is the same. The only difference would be that the Lightning has different pistons. Not sure about the compression ratio.
