Ford Ranger with Lightning motor and 6 speed trans
Hey all i have been looking of a 2001 or newer lightning thats has been wrecked. I want to get all that i can use off of it to put it in my 96 ranger i have someone that says he can build it for me. My Question is if anyone knows where there might be a wrecked lightning (junk yard,someones back yard, ect.) thank you for your comments.

yeah and just wanted to know to if i just found a f150 with the 5.4 in it just use that with and buy a supercharger for it. i dont want to spend over 2000 for the part truck. I know that will probably be hard to find a lightning thats wrecked for that cheep or so i have heard. if anyone has any ideas i am open for suggestions.

Ford SVO engineers did that a couple of years ago with a later model and they had trouble getting it faster than the 12's because of no traction. Just way too much torque. You want different, use the 5.4. Quick, go with a small block. Know a guy out in York, PA who was running in the 11's with a 347 and a KB. Completly streetable.

There are several who have put 460's in theirs. Several have put the complete Explorer 5.0L drivetrain in them, getting the power and the AWD. One guy did such a fantastic job he took truck of the year at two main Ranger sites.
