    New to the site

    What's up guys i'm new to the site and new to Fords all together. As you can see from my user name I used to own a 98 Z-28 6spd car, but it was time to move on so I bought a 2000 HD F-150. I've always wanted one and I found this one and had to have it. Anyways the truck is stock and I don't have alot of plans for it. What plans I do have are, Lightning Headlight conversion, 2in Shackles, tint the front doors to match the rears, and I want to do a HID headlight conversion to go along with the Lightning headlights. I'm a member of ls1tech.com with close to 1000 post and I have around 1200 on bowlinggreenmustangs.com so i'm going to try not to be a total newb

    From what i'm noticing the 2000 model seems to be a rarity.

    Yep, just a few of us around. Now a naturally aspirated 2000 is even rarer around here, most think they have to throw a blower on theirs.

    Like I said before I am new to Fords all together. My father just retired from GM here in B.G. where they build the Corvette and my Uncle just retired from the local GM dealership as the Parts Manager. I can talk all day about he LSX motors, but the Ford stuff i'm clueless so I have a bunch of reading up to do

    I have been told that the the N/A 5.4L has different pistons and rods as the Supercharged motor and if I were to do a Lightning Supercharger swap the N/A 5.4 wouldn't last very long. Is this the case? I haven't had a chance to look at the compression ratio on the N/A 5.4 yet.

    I appreciate the warm welcome guys!

    the compression on the N/A 5.4's is lower than the S/C 5.4's, but lots of guys here have done the top end blower conversion and as long as you dont go crazy with boost you'll be fine. the rods are the same in both motors, just the pistons have different compression ratios. (9.6 or something for N/A, 8.4 or something for S/C).

    anyway, hit up madferraristi about the top end swap. he's helped TONS of guys do the conversion and sells all the misc. parts you'll need.

    and last but not least, welcome to the site!! good to see another 00 owner aboard
