Lightning Bolt

I was at the Mid America Shelby Nationals this past weekend. Ford had a display of some of there concept vehicles. Low and behold, here sat a Ranger with 12" wide tires on the back. Turns out it is A concept vehicle that John Colletti came up with. Took a stock 2002 Ranger Styleside, yanked out the 2.5L and dropped in a supercharged 5.4L from a F-150 Lightening. Some other suspension and frame work, and they came up with this beauty!!! I never new it existed.

PickupTruck.Com - First Drive: Ford SVT Lightning Bolt Ranger

Makes me wonder exactly how hard it would be to do this??

Ford actually produced three of them for the car show circuit back then. Several people have done the DOHC 4.6 motor, made it fit but a lot of fabrication required.
