well the wife was getting tired of driving the windstar, so we traded it in for an Expedition. Now i can't stop trying to figure out ways to make it faster. Anbody have any ideas? I know they make a couple of SC kits for it, but i don't have 3K right now. My vision is to eventually transform it in to the expedition equevelant of the SVT Lightning. (I will call it the "THUNDER" ). Oh by the way it is a 2000 XLT 4x4 with the 5.4.

People don't buy Expeditions for gas mileage.....or Mustangs.

My pop has a Navigator, and it's SO slow! I think a blower would wake up your Expedition alot.

My wife is driving a 97 Expy 4X4. I was looking around on Ebay for stuff a few months ago, and saw an item that had all 8 fuel injectors, and a K&N intake, of a 5.4 Expy, used with around 30k miles on them. The K&N intake is like $300, and this was around $70, so I went ahead and got it. I E-mailed the guy a few times, and it turned out that he had gotten a complete SC set-up out of a wrecked Harley Davidson F-150, and had installed it on his Expy (he didn't say if it was 4X4, or not). He said it was a blast though.

By the way, I can't say the K&N added any performance, or mileage, but it definately sounds sweet (very pissed off).

Don't the Navi's have the 5.4 DOHC? I think it's like one of just a few vehicles with it. I think the Blackwood may have it also. And of course the Ford GT ... but it's all aluminum (a slight difference). I would ditch the 5.0 if I had one of those and a T-56 to slap in there .... New K-member or whatever, who cares ..... I'd go for it in a heartbeat.


BTW ..... the Expedition told me it wanted a KB!

There is a guy intown that took the front bumper off of a lightning and put it on his expo. Looks pretty mean. But slow as dogg poop

Update

well with a little research i did find the thunder, it was an SVT concept which never made it to production. well i guess i will just build my own
