im still trying to fathom WHY put a mod motor in there? So expensive, so many modifications.

You could easily drop an EFI 5.0 and a T5 or AOD for HALF the cost and make the same power.

Allcar, I agree. I think that the reason would be two-fold:
  1. A big fat wallet
  2. To say that you did it.

These are the only reasons that I could think of that someone would want to take the time and money to modify most, if not all, of their front end to take a Lightning engine.

Still, imagine the fenders: Powered by Lightning
