Lightning blower bolt up?
Hey all!
I was just curious, if any of you know, will a Lightning blower from the proper year (what would that be?) bolt straight up to my '01 F-150 5.4? I've been shopping around for superchargers, and it seems I can get a lightning blower pretty cheap compared to the centrifugal units from vortech and powerdyne. I was also looking at a holley thunder kit in a book for a 99-03 5.4, but I can't seem to find it anywhere online for a price check. Thanks for your help guys!

What I've generally found out about this swap is there are quite a few other parts required, listed as a kit on this site: --> http://www.madenterprise.com/scparts.htm
I have a predator tuner, so I can back off the timing and fuel curve if needed. The only other major differences in the motors are Lightning has 8.5 CR forged pistons, N/A 5.4's have 9.5 non-forged. I think with proper spark retardation, these pistons will hold up to Lightning level boost.
