FS/FT: 1997 Ford F150 Lightning Swap, SuperCab Flareside 4x4
Year: 1997 Make: Ford Model: F-150 Price: $8500 Mileage: 261000 Color: White Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing Location (State): NJ Transmission: Automatic Drivetrain: 4WD & AWD Color: White Engine: 5.4L Supercharged
For sale or trade is my 1997 Ford F150 Supercab Flareside 4x4. Oxford White on Prairie tan, tan Lariat leather interior (captain's chairs, not the split bench). Factory off-road and towing package, with 3.55 limited slip rear. It has almost 261K on it, but at this point, most of the truck has been redone or rebuilt. The original engine went around 257k. So I went a little crazy...
The list of things that has been done to this truck is pretty extensive but I will try to cover the basics:
- Rebuilt Lightning long block with 9.0:1 compression, stock 42 lb Injectors, Navigator water pump.
- Rebuilt Eaton M112 supercharger (rotors stripped, ribs on housing and plenum were polished)
- Lightning intercooler system
- New fuel tank, straps, filler neck assembly, and tank pressure sensor
- TrickFlow valve covers
- MAC Cold Air Intake
- JLP 4LB Lower pulley
- 255 LPH Bosch Fuel Pump
- BBK Headers
- Custom welded true-dual 2.5" exhaust with new cats and Gibson mufflers; X-pipe, extra bungs installed for aftermarket A/F sensors, rear O2s deleted, side exit before passenger tire
- Engine oil cooler
- SCT Xcal3 Tuned by JJ @ WMS (tuner setup goes with truck, also needs final data-logging and dyno tuning to be perfect)
- Mustang Cobra electric fan w/controller (stock clutch fan deleted)
- New Radiator
- Recent-ish brake job
- American Racing 17" wheels, wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion ATR LT285/70R17s (setup less then 5k old)
- Lightning style headlights, markers, crystal fog lamps, billet upper and lower grille
- New rear bumper (Flareside bumpers all rot out)
- Rancho RS5000 shocks all-around
- Expedition console swap
- Newer battery (replaced it early this summer)
- Trans cooler lines
- Cruise control TSB
Engine has a little over three-thousand miles on a complete rebuild. Transmission was replaced about 25k ago (Jasper). Have much of the receipt history. Needs a little finishing here and there:
- Valve cover breather catch can assembly (will pull oil from the valve covers at high RPMs due to the TrickFlow covers)
- Should eventually have a high-performance valve body installed (in my opinion, it's extra insurance)
- Needs wire run to A/C Compressor to engage (A/C worked fantastic but the Lightning engine harness had to be re-pinned for EGR (I think). If you plan on EGR delete, simply move the pin back).
- Lock cylinder in handle on the hard shell tonnue needs to be replaced (latch works, lock does not)
- Light body work; needs a lower cab corner/rocker on the driver's side, and the doors are rusting out on the bottom (typical 97-03 F150 issue)
- Autometer factory match boost gauge needs to be hooked up
- One exhaust tail pipe needs to be tack welded (droops, see passenger side pictures)
Inspected until the end of 2013. It is reliable; I've been driving it for a year back and forth to work, to Philly and out into central PA without a hitch. She's never let me down.

Also have a hitch for it, that is disassembled for media blasting that goes with it (class III). Skid plates are off for the same reason.
Asking $8,500...
Interested in a partial trade for a 1999-04 SVT Lightning (drive-able, not concerned with mileage) or possibly a project Lightning. Also interested in a built C4 automatic for a big block (nothing crazy, just something to hold 550 hp). Possibly open to other partial trades, but those would be the ones I'm most interested in.
Truck is located in Northern NJ (08833). Feel free to PM me with any questions. Thanks for looking.

Interested, can you email me pictures of the rust on the doors and cab corner to zrinnocent@gmail.com? Have a few other questions for you as well but I'll wait for the email.
