OK i have a 2002 f150. I was looking into either putting a SVT Cobra swap or a SVT Lightning swap. I was just wondering which one would give me the better outcome.


another option ......is to just supercharge the 4.2L that is in there....but do they make a supercharger for my V6?

 

What are you trying to do with it?

 

im trying to have a f150 that looks stock on the outside ...but has some power hiding under neithe...it wont be a dd

 

how much power? I mean, if you want a sleeper, sell the F150 and get a crown vic. Track car, street car, what?

I guess I'm trying to figure out what you mean by "better results". As it is, I'd pick a lightning motor because it's desgined to go into a truck.

 

i want a sleeper and i want to keep the truck.

it will be used at the track and on the street but only on weekends pretty much.

i want power but not as much as THEgoaT.

 

don't bother putting a blower on your V6...

swap in a 5.4, buy a roots blower, and there you are.

edit: i have no idea how the engine and tranny will work together. in the GM world the input shaft between the V6 and V8 models is a different size, and the bellhousings have a different bolt pattern.

 

why, of all things, are you making a race car out of a v6 fullsize truck?

 

not a full size.. regular cab short bed...

and it wont be a race car. it will be something i can have some fun with every now and then

 

depends how far you want to go with it. The cobra 4.6 already has forged internals so it will hold alot more power but it will cost you more than the lightning 5.4. If you are just shooting for 350-450 to the wheels, the 5.4 will do fine.

Personally I would drop a 4V navigator motor in it and put a turbo on it.
