For that pipe, you can take a piece of flat metal and put it on the opposite side of where you want the bend to be and use a c-clamp on the other side. Put the screw side where you're applying heat at and it will push it in. The piece of metal on the opposite side will prevent it from scuffing up or bending.

Do Note that the gasket on the oil cooler mounted on the filter housing can go bad. Causing the coolant and oil to mix. If you have one of these trucks with oil/coolant mixing. Do a combustion leak test. because It may be the oil cooler and not the head gasket.

Great series on the SVT Lightning!!! My 1st lightning was a used 99. Then in 2004 I traded it in on a brand new one. Left it bone stock and today I still have it with only 65K miles on the clock. Over the years I dreamed about doing different mods but it ran so nice I left it alone. Thought about selling it now that I’m in my 70’s but after watching this lightning series I don’t see how I can part with my old friend 😢. Matter of fact I think I’ll go out in the garage with a cup of coffee, turn on some tunes and do a little dusting under the hood. Thanks for the inspiration everyone. ❤

Awesome video! Here a tip - I normally hold the fan at the top of the blade while it inside the shroud when putting a new radiator back in then screw the fan in before bolting the radiator onto the body. It allow me to move the radiator around a bit to screw the fan onto the water pump and I wouldn’t have to struggle putting the fan on trying to squeeze it between the engine and shroud since I already installed radiator with fan inside the shroud. Loved your truck!

Bud I'm really glad you sandblasted and painted that frame because those are really beautiful and fast trucks. This one is clean and it deserves to be restored and built with a forged engine. It'd be awesome to see this thing get a turbo some day and get rid of the supercharger. I'm not saying that the supercharger can't be modified to make good power, but they usually can't make the kind of power that a big single turbo can. I told you in the last video that my 1992 Acura Integra with a T3 turbo making 408 whp at 15 psi with a B18A1 was almost unbeatable in the long run with drag radials on the front, and the only vehicle that could really put a whooping on me was a modified 2003 Ford Lightning. I never thought that my car would be as fast as it was, and I never expected it to be a real contender (neither did anyone else in the area), but it did, and the Lightning was the only vehicle that ever really gave me a good run and he edged me out every time. I worked my butt off to get back at him, but I didn't have forged internals at the time, so I had to try different tire pressures and work with what I had at the time. Still, he had 20" chrome wheels and he had a 5 speed manual trans in it, and he always dusted me by just over half a vehicle length. To this day I have a 1997 Honda Civic coupe with a fully built LSVTEC with a Garrett GTS3582 turbo that made 709 whp, but there's no street racing scene like it was back then because the cops got smarter, but it's still fun to whoop on the unsuspecting.

I work for over 10 years in high managment until I become a dad. And I realized that I needed more time for my daughter. Now I'm a mechanic working for home. Is less money for sure, but I get to love what I'm doing and to see my kids grow next to me

39:20 Still watching the video but wanted to mention before I forget, hope you guys spotted that it looks like the upper radiator hose is at least extremely close to rubbing on the supercharger belt probably because of the difficulties getting the hose to fully seat under that riser.

Welp, looks like you caught it. Seeing later on plenty of clearance but looks like a little rub mark on the hose where the belt would have hit it. lol

The Lightening looks awesome. One thing I really miss about trucks that you can't get anymore is just a short bed regular cab truck. Now they are all extra cabs or double cabs.

Make sure you clean that throttle plate. When you did the unwrapping on the crate I noticed how much carbon there was. In your last video when first starting it up you tried blipping the throttle and remarked that it was sticking. In this video you mentioned at one point the idle was high and you had to manually shut the throttle body all the way. It’s a beautiful truck. My first job at a ford dealer back in ‘03 was replacing an engine in one that some 16 year old kids parents bought him. He chipped it and sent a rod through the block. Remember him complaining how he could never have anything nice. I thought what a douchebag. I was driving an ‘82 Buick Park Ave at the time that I spent an entire summer working and saving up to buy.

I really enjoyed these Ford lightning videos and I'm also really glad you've branched out and done something other than Mercedes or GM. It really does draw me to your channel when you do out of the box stuff like this.

Compared to that new Lightening truck beside yours, yours is KILLER! The new one does absolutely nothing for me. It's boring although I know it's insanely fast while the charge is up on it for a few hits I couldn't care less about it. Yours ROCKS!
