Hey all, some may remember me from days long ago (some 25ish years ago) where I was big with Expeditions. But, as life runs in circles, so do my vehicles. Looking to get back into an F-150, but this time with my standard twist. Looking to create a late 90's Lightning from a 2025 F-150. This seems to be a bit more popular than I thought it was going to be. But, in short, this is what I currently have planned for the truck (XL, standard cab, short bed):
-5.0L motor with a whipple supercharger, hoping to get into the 800 HP range
-Long tube headers with a dual 3" (3.5"?) exhaust
-3/5 drop with a rear sway bar, most likely overload bags to help keep the truck level when loaded
-265/50R20 front with 295/45R20 rears on some sort of "snowflake" style rim.
-3" raised hood
-custom radio inside the cab
-mirror mod resulting in CCTV/IR cameras in place of the mirrors with 7" monitors at the base of the A pillars (questionable legality about this, need to investigate further).
-ZBO paint job over the factory black paint (color shifting pearls that go from black to a maroon to orange to a gold).

Some of the potential things that I am looking to add are:
-full panaramic glass roof
-supercool system to aide in dropping the intake temps to maximize power output
-port/polish of the heads (again to maximize power)

I am sure over time other things will be tossed in there, but this is what is planned at the moment.

So, if some of us old farts are still around, I would be interested in hearing from you.

 

welcome back from another old fart . and still a model a lover
