2002 Lightning Expedition??

[5.0calypso93lx]

This is one of the cooler swaps I've seen in a while and have to share. $10k for this thing seems extremely reasonable:

I am selling the most bad ace daily driver on the planet. It's a 2002 expedition sport with a full lightning drivetrain swap including the ecu, dash cluster. It all looks factory, no hacking or nothing! This car is the perfect DD with cold ac, it can cruise 8 people with the third row seating , smoke a gt mustang and tow 9500 lbs like nothing.

The guy who did the swap was a head diesel mechanic at a ford dealership in Houston and he did a fantastic job. I bought the car from him two years ago with 90k miles and have put about 20k miles on it (108xxx). Since his ad is still available, i'm going to copy paste below what he wrote so I dont have to. The only thing I have added is a new big 14" AFE air filter and dual electric fans. B

Here is what he wrote, call me with any questions:
I have for sale my 2002 Expedition XLT Sport with a SVT Lightning engine conversion. Started as a 56k mile Sport with a 5.4l, 4R100 trans, 9.75" rear with 3.55 locker, dual air, rear air suspension- stays level pulling trailer, trailer tow, adj pedals, etc. All swap parts came from a rear end collision 2003 Lightning with 43k miles. I performed the swap 4 years ago at 56k miles. Currently the Lightning cluster shows 90k miles, so that means the body now has 103k.Vehicle is a daily driver and only selling to put a new roof on my house. Truck is located just south of Houston TX.

I had the truck conservatively tuned by Jim D'Amore from JDM Engnineering at 398 hp, 494 ft#- didnt build it to race, just wanted a unique family ride. Short block is from Johnny Lightning Performance with Manely rods and pistons, all ARP fasteners including head studs, 6# lower pulley, Accufab throttle body, dual intank pumps, Magnaflow mid pipes with 2 high flow converters, and 3" Magnaflow stainless catback exhaust system. Trans has a line mod valve and 4x4 pan, suspension is a Ford Racing 2" drop spring and shock kit. Has 2001 Lightning wheels, 4 brand new Nitto tires, new front and rear brakes, recently serviced trans, rear diff, and cooling system, SVT headlights and corner lamps, gauge cluster, 5 autometer gauges, steering wheel, 6 disc cd ( which now decided not to load discs). Under hood is straight Lightning- no hacking of wires or butchering in any way! Video and pics here.

I was just looking at what all is involved with the swap because the engine in our expedition just took a crap. If the body on ours was nicer then I would consider the investment, but just to swap the blower onto the existing 5.4 longblock will run about $2-3k to do it "right", which I would want to do. It is definitely a pretty cool swap though. I was surprised to find as many people as I did that had already done it.:bigthumb

Thought the same when I saw it on corral. Seems like a decent buy and unique

Saw this on SVTP, cool as hell! I've been looking at Lightnings but don't think I could bring myself to get one because of 10mpg and 2wd. Maybe after I replace my GTP with another daily that's decent in snow and decent on fuel I could justify the L.
