98 Expo on 37s needs a power plant upgrade.
Has anyone done a full swap with details View attachment 32979 as I have access to a full complete running 2001 svt lightning.
I agree with @Chrysortega65 that is a great looking setup.
There have been a couple lightning conversions for Expeditions and if you look for them under Thunder you will find them.
Here is one of our members Thunder conversion thread

That thread is pretty informative. It is not a conversion for anyone with a weak heart or on a budget. Even the instrument cluster wiring harnesses are different.

I am not sure MisterGadget finished the build, he hints at a couple setbacks in the thread.
