    im going to use this thread to show my progress in doing a Lightning swap on a N/A F150.

    the first thing i did was swap out the stock pump for a walbro 255 LPH fuel pump. this was a little difficult because i was having problems with one of the plugs wouldnt come undone.

    im now starting to take apart the stock intake. ive already drained the coolant, removed upper radiator hose, throttle cables, alternator, and the stock intake.

    your brake fluids way to high....if the fluid ever gets hot it will try to expand and have no where to go causing u to loose your brakes due to boiling
