My New 2001 Lightning Truck **pics**
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 2:54 PM
I finally was able to pick up a Ford Lightning truck. It has 39,XXX original miles. I got a killer deal on it and I just couldnt pass it up. It has a borla exhaust, Cold Air intake and a new upper pulley. Im taking it to get dyno tuned next week! Im telling you this thing is a blast to drive.Yes, Im a huge SVT fan. Here are some pictures. I was looking for a 69-72 C10 but I couldnt afford the ones I really liked and wanted.

Sold the jeep and I no longer have the contour either. So I am down to the mustangs and the truck and the cavy as the winter DD.

sweet L

you can go pretty quick on those things with bolt-ons (I have heard of some running 10's)

just keep in mind once you start messing with the boost pressures you may want to look into fortifying the motor. I know alot of people who have burned up the stock pistons on those things when running higher boost over the course of a season or so.

Your right, Im not going to go to crazy on it just dyno tune it for the mods it has now. But if it does break then thats the time to get forged internals and go all out.

I see your truck and the only thing i can think of is how the entire movie theater flinched when Paul Walker slammed the red Lightning into the curb in the first F&F movie. That still hurts to watch.

I hear that, had a chance last yr to buy a white lightning,with low miles.
But trading in my ole faithful( f150) for a lightning with payments,kinda lead me to say no.
Really like not having payments.

if/when you spit a spark plug out. Please dont use a steel insert to fix the problem. Buddy at work has a lightning and the owner before him used the steel insert in the head to fix it . That steel causes a hot spot and can lead to detonation. = bad

I seen his spark plug with no electrode welded to the steel insert . Which came back out in one peice.
Now he has more problems as there might have been a tune on it, and he was getting on it and looking down the plug hole with a bore scope wasnt that pretty...


good luck non the less.

If i remember right,00+ had more threads in the head,so less likely to blow plugs.

mmm i love SVT vehicles.

Meth injection, ported blower, smaller pulley and a tune and you'll be good to go!

screw the ported blower.....THIS is what I would spend the dough on.... My buddy had an 03 cobra with a 2.8"H" on it that put over 700whp down.

24zeta- if your on chicagosvt you might have seen him post RDSNAKE was his user name..should have never of sold it.
