not for me...but Where to look for a 2004 stock Lightning engine/motor?

[Andre]

Hello,

I am trying to help out a german Lightning owner who got 3 Brisk spark plugs destroyed his rods.

The truck has around 19000mls. and is a 2004.

The parts and work to fix the engine are very expensive over here. So we trying to get a pricing for a replacement engine/motor.
It will be more expensive but at the moment we calculating 4000 US$ just to get it fixed in germany.

I can´t find the stock Lightning one on the Ford Racing website.

Where could we try to get the right answers?

The truck was modded with Stiegemeir Blower, 4# lower, RWTD tune and all the other bolt ons.

He wants to go back to stock now with a new engine.

We could handle shipping from germany with a pick up adress.

Thank you for help,

André

A whole motor shipped to you would likley be close to that - but I havent priced stock longblocks in a while

there used to be a place that sold lightning crate engines at a decent price

kar kraft or car kraft or something - someone in TALON knows the URL - I couldnt find it when I tried

Hello Doug,

it´s KarKraft.com I was watching the website but i just found the stock short block on it.
He wants to get the complete closed engine up to the Throttle body.

I will call this company and ask for it.

Thank you Doug!

I'd have to check but I think I can get a AER (Ford Reman'd) for 2,500 abouts. That is just a long block you would need heads, oil pump, oil pan and all accys, gasket set etc.. as usual. I assume someone over there can bolt on heads, time cams etc. Stock used heads would be about 200 bucks a set.

Thank you Terry,

but we are trying to get a complete (closed) engine at the moment.
The shops - you can trust in - that are able to build up the engine are really expensive in germany.

Just as an example, as my tranny was broken they asked around 4000 US$ to rebuild it. I got a brand new one from the USA shipped to germany and saved some money.

Hello Terry,

i really have to say i didn´t knew the difference between short- and longblock.

No i know it´s the same size the longblock just have the rods mounted.

The guy who needs the motor would like to go stock or build now.

So would you take a look for me for the longblock with all parts (gaskets, heads aso. ) what needed?

Would be nice.

Shipping could be handeled from here. We would just need the size and weight of the box.

Thank you for the help,

Short block is just the block - doesnt include the heads etc

I think the AER/Ford Reman is a long block for 2500. It is complete with heads installed. I think you have to install oil pump, pan, cams and timing chains...

sorry for the late answer...

Now he decided to order all the stock parts to get the motor fixed.
Order was done.


Thank you for the help.

A forged rebuild kit is cheaper only $1450.
