Has anyone blown up a 2002 yet I know there just starting to appear in numbers Did Ford possibly changed the internals on the motor? I know someone posted thats they paused building of the Lightnings for a crash update or something for front crashes but maybe they changed something in the motors does anyone know also there was rumor of 3v heads for late 02's so if Ford is making these engines they should have more power also but this is all rumor as far as I know but the poor guy that blew his 01 this could be helpfull info and for anyone with a 02 thinking about moding it
SLick

 

Haven't blown mine up yet..He He He

No odd sounds, plenty of power, no smoke, oil levels fine after 2000 miles. Guess ineed more mods huh?

 

I have no probs with mine either but its only 2weeks old just hit 300miles only prob i did have was acually this morning about 5am leaving work and altinator squeeled alittle bit but it was 12 deg out so i am not ot concerned but how did your autometer gueages work out i am getting the lunar series boost,a/f,fuel pres
with the guage pod dont know wich company yet either lo-tec or auto meter
slick

 

I went with the autometer pod, word is it fits the best.
I am still installing them, trying to get the paint scheme to be something a little different. Trouble finding the right color, maybe this week I can finish and post some pic's for ya

 

not yet... go ahead, you can be the first.

just kidding!

 

The internals on the 02's are the same as previous model years. 3V heads won't be showing up on any '02 truck engines - the first application is for export only.

 

Common sense tells me that maybe Ford should put stronger (Manley maybe) rods in the Lightning before going with the 3 valve heads

 

They're putting them in the '03 Cobra. I think the're afraid that putting them into the Lightning will be an admission that they should have been ther all along. I'm sure they wouldn't want to retro-fit 15,000 plus Ls.

 

Well find out by the end of this raceing season if for some odd reason our built motor isn't put in the truck by then...
