1993 Ford F-150 SVT Lighting

1993 Ford SVT F-150 Lighting!it needs work, but it runs and drives, strong 5.8 engine, needs cosmetic work previous owner hit a mail box I removed grill and was going to remove bumper and headlight assembly but with some unexpected life changes I no longer have the time. Passenger side will need I think a CV axle so the truck will need to be towed, passenger window is out, inside door handles are missing, will need exhaust work as well. Definitely a fixer upper, I'm selling it so someone can either restore it or probably wants the engine and trans? in 1993 they only made 2,585 of these lightningsin Red and 2,691 in Black so total production only 5,276! below is the specs on the truck that came stock: ********************. ***************************************
Entering the full-size sport truck marketplace in 1993, the SVT F-150 Lightning brought a more balanced approach to high-performance pickups. Instead of focusing only on straight-line acceleration, Lightning added sporty handling and towing functionality to the mix, allowing it to lap a race course as fast or faster than a Mustang GT of the same vintage, or to tow up to 8,400 pounds. Developed by the F-150 team and given to SVT to market, the Lightning featured a high-output 351 cubic-inch V-8 rated at 240 horsepower, good for 0-60 mph springs in the mid 7-second rang and quarter-mile times in the mid-15s.
Engine
Type: 90-degree, OHV Windsor V-8
Displacement: 5.8L / 351 CID
Horsepower: 240 hp @ 4200 rpm
Torque: 340 lbs.-ft. @ 3200 rpm
Bore x Stroke: 4.0 in. x 3.5 in.
Compression: 8.8:1SVT installed GT-40-type cast-iron cylinder heads, a tuned intake manifold, tubular stainless-steel headers, larger intake (1.84-inch) and exhaust valves (1.54-inch), high-flow ports, high-rate capacity fuel pump and injectors, revised combustion chambers, a redesigned air filter for improved airflow and a true dual exhaust system.Other upgrades for the basic 5.8-liter V-8 included high-silicon aluminum hypereutectic pistons, a special camshaft for optimized valve tuning and a cartridge-type oil-to-water exchanger to control oil temperatures. Engineers also programmed the engine's computer control to deliver crisp throttle response and acceptable fuel economy. Lightning output resulted in a then very healthy 240hp at 4,200 rpm and 340-lbs.ft. of torque at 3,200 rpm. The Lightning distributor uses a special cap with aluminum contacts and is the recommended cap for Lightnings. This cap is made of Rynite, which has high dielectric properties.Transmission
Only one transmission came with a Lightning: the E4OD electronically controlled four-speed automatic. For the Lightning application, engineers recalibrated it to handle the power and added an auxiliary oil cooler. A 4.0-inch diameter aluminum driveshaft combined sufficient torque capacity with minimal weight. This transmission featured automatic overdrive with brake/shift interlock and carried the following gear ratios: 1st: 2.71:1; 2nd: 1.54:1; 3rd: 1.00:1; 4th (OD): 0.71:1; and 2.18:1 in reverse.Differential
A 4.10:1-ratio rear axle housed a limited-slip differential inside a heavy-duty 8.8-inch rear end filled with synthetic lube. Ford factory lube is still available from a dealer, but is pricey at $17 per quart. The rear end housing also was Lightning-specific, featuring external cooling fins to reduce temperatures.
Suspension & Brakes
The front suspension was standard F-150 fare, with twin I-beams. But a one-inch anti-roll bar kept things in check. The rear suspension included a rigid axle and leaf springs, as you'd expect from a pickup. The front shocks were Monroe Formula GP gas units with a 1.375-inch bore. Both front and rear anti-roll bars measured 1 inch and the entire suspension was lowered 2.5 inches from stock. The leaf springs contained a single leaf.Each Lightning had power steering, integral recirculating ball type with a 17.0:1 ratio. The steering system was reworked with a larger Pitman arm and improved-response power steering control valve.The braking system used power-assisted front disc/rear drum setup with anti-lock brakes on the rear wheels only. The rotors measured 11.72 inches and the rear drums 11.03 inches x 2.25 inches wide. These brakes brought a Lightning to a halt in 143 feet from 60 mph.
Chassis
A full, ladder-welded steel frame, doubled at the kick-up and rails measuring 0.170 inches were used. Running under the chassis is a true dual stainless steel exhaust system with four catalytic converters, two mufflers and two tailpipes that exit behind the passenger wheel.The wheelbase measured 116.8 inches, the overall length (including the rear bumper) was 201.8 inches, ground clearance stood at 8.2 inches, front track 64.2 inches, rear track 63.5 inches, and curb weight hit the scale at 4,480 pounds. The Lightning's width measured 79 inches and overall height stood at 68.9 inches. Weight distribution measured 55.8 percent in front and 44.2 percent out back.Body
Like all Ford trucks at the time, the Lightning had a welded, all-steel body and featured a color-keyed rear step bumper. Buyers could order an optional color-keyed tubular bumper, as the original owner chose on our Buyer's Guide feature truck. The grille was color-keyed, along with the headlamp bezels and front bumper, which also included an integral air dam and fog lamps.If someone is selling a green 1993 Lightning, walk away, because only Raven Black and Bright Red, both without clearcoat, could be ordered. In 1994, Ebony, Crimson (a special red available only in 1994), and Oxford White were available, but now with clearcoat. All of the 1994 colors carried over for 1995.The dual fuel tanks held a whopping 34.7 gallons and today would cost around $100 to fill, even with regular unleaded. The maximum payload and trailer weights stood at 745 pounds and 5,000 pounds respectively. Other options include: electric side mirrors, trailer towing package, sliding rear windows and a security group with remote keyless entry/anti-theft system on 1994 and 1995 models only. The side rear-view mirrors are black only for the first generation.
