If you are looking for a complete lightning motor from the supercharger down, they are not easily found. You will have to search ebay, lightning forums, etc... and hope you can locate one from a lightning that has been in an accident and parting it out.

Depends on how much power you plan on making and the condition of your existing tranny. You have the 4R100 and it is fairly stout. But if you decide to start increasing the boost you may consider beefing it up. The additional torque will test its limits regardless.

If you pm the link or post on this thread if you prefer I can tell you what may or may not be missing.

If you want to bolt the lightning setup to your motor you need:

Complete upper lightning supercharger assembly
Pulley bridge w/ idler pulleys and tensioner pulley
Lightning alternator
Intercooler reservoir
Heat exchanger
Hoses
Gaskets
Crank supercharger drive pulley & belt
Higher volume fuel pump
Lightning 90mm mass air sensor
Throttle cable
Cruise control cable
Tune

Depending on how complete your upper supercharger assembly is you will need to supply any items that may be missing.

Some of the items on the list are very hard to come by now.

The list is off the top of my head.... so I may be missing some items.
