Sick Ford Lightning
Here are a few shots of a Ford Lightning truck we did….It now has forged pistons and rods, ported heads and we installed twin 255lph pumps in the tank. A DynoJet air fuel ratio meter was installed as well as a fuel pressure gauge.
Well THERE’S your problem!!!!!! I’m thinking there’s a better way to oil a K&N air filter….it weighed about 10 pounds!!!!
Now THERE’S your REAL problem!!!!! Whadda you know….#4…..the one that killed all the plugs……some others weren’t far behind!
Here is a shot of the combustion chamber…notice the boss around the spark plug is melted away…this happens often on the mod motors the kill pistons… Shot of the stock combustion chamber….
Shot of the chamber on the CNC ported heads we used…
Shot of the stock intake port… Shot of the CNC ported intake port…
Shot of the stock exhaust port… Shot of the CNC ported exhaust port…
ARP head studs in and heads going on…Followers and cams going together….Stock cams were used on this build by customer choice?????!!!!!!!!
Getting all set up to do the cam timing….You gotta watch them Fords….They’ll BITE a Chevy man!!!
Looking through my files, it looks like this is the last picture I got of this project….Imagine a cat trying to bury his poop on a hot tin roof….THAT’S busy….Well we were THAT busy at this time of year and just had no time to get a lot of pics. The truck is completed and running great…As soon as it has a few break in miles on it we will get it to the chassis dyno and post up some RWHP numbers……If the customer is okay with that…..If he’s not then we are done here…
