Is it worth it on a 5.8L engine in the F-150?

 

if you can find the heads... the heads and intake will be worth it..

 

The Lightning intake is definitely worth getting.. if for nothing else but the awesome look of the tubular upper. It will allow even a stock motor to make more HP and will complement later upgrades better than the stock intake. It requires a single tube intake and possibly a different throttle cable as well as a single bore TB of course.

 

the stock 5.8 intake sucksssssss get it and post results

 

Just curious, can a Lightning upper and lower intake be put on a 5.0?

 

The Lightning upper will fit with a GT40 or Explorer lower, the Lightning lower is for a 5.8 and it's too wide for a 5.0.

 

first off sorry to bring back an old thread but I dont want to start another for the same questions. First is the lightning lower the only one I can use with the 5.8 in my truck or can I use the explorer uppper/lower? Second I am in the market for some Gt40 heads if I stay away from the P heads will the headers I have work with the swap? If not can any one point me towards some that confirmed to work with the combo? Thanks for all the help guys.
*forgot to add my truck is an 88 4x4 351w.

 

You can't use a 5.0 lower on a 5.8, the 5.8 block is about 3" wider across the lifter valley.

Yes.

 

good deal, I figured the 5.8 gt40 was the only way to go but I just wanted to double check. Thanks again for the info and help.
