351 Lightning Motor

[OVAL BLUE]

Anybody tried or accomplished stuffing a 351 Lightning motor (93 Lightning) in a 94 GT?
I got to look it up, but I don't think the Lightning was rated above the 5.0 GT in factory hp.

They say there is no replacement for displacement, so if it would fit, it should be a better base block to build up?

get a 351 / 408 crate, EASY 450hp and good for 700ish

aftermarket 351's can go as much as 454ci with a 4.25 / 4.25 bore / stroke

15,000 would get you an all aluminum 454w, 850hp, all motor and ready for spray or boost... I need to borrow 15k btw...

Any idea how much on a crate?

The Lightning motor guy is in Love with it, to the tune of 3k.
My 5.0 runs ok, thank you, If someone where to give me a 351, the 5.0 has a huge advantage. Its in and it runs..

4,700 just needs intake and fuel system, 425hp 450tq and aluminum heads

idk about now, but when I bought mine they used all higher end fel-pro gaskets and arp bolts in it, I was really impressed, heads are pretty nice heads for a budget build

they come with regular stamped rockers, so if you go with RR figure a nice jump on the HP, they have a mild came on them with zero lope so Its a great sleeper

don't go by this vid for the lope, I was dumping fuel into it without knowing cuz of a setting in the Terminator wasn't set right, it'll give you an idea for the motor tho

2nd vid skip to :52 for skipping the horrid voice talking

Want to make an investment in high dollar project, Narmalee? That's working man's money, i'm retired poboy.

I'm hoping to get TFS package, heads , cam, int man., etc. Claims of 360hp for the $3k package. I would like to hear from a twisted wedge/trick flow user.
