Hey all. Kinda new here, and havn't posted much, but I thought I would share with you all my little project I have started on.





I'm putting a Eaton M112 off a Ford Lightning onto my 4.2L V6 F150. I did a lot of research into this and was looking around on the v6 mustang forums and found that this can be done since we share the same block. The adapter plates made for this setup is for the cobra m112 only, and since our cab forward design doesn't allow much room about the lower intake, the Lightning blower was the obvious choice. The only issue is, I have to build a custom adapter plate.

I will be running 42# injectors, 255lph fuel pump, lightning 90mm MAF housing with the stock sensor, the lightning 90mm throttle body, and some NGK step colder plugs for the supporting mods. I will be tuned by a SCT dealer who specializes in Ford Automatic transmission performance, and I am planning to run 8 to 10 psi of boost until I get forged internals.

 

Interesting project. Good luck with it and let us know how it turns out.

 

very interesting indeed, always watching for ways to get more power out of these engines

 

showing signs of a weak bottom end so i'm aborting this project. The whole kit is for sale for $600 OBO if anyone is interested, comes with blower, plenum, air duct, throttle body, maf housing, cone filter, gaskets, and two idler pullies.

heres a pic:

 

I have some interest. would you contact me via Riverrandy66 at gmail dot com (not spelled out like this)?

 

this kit is sold

 

lol would you like a forged 3.8 from a supercoup to replace your weak old 4.2? got a complete one from oil pan to supercharger

 

What ya asking on that 3.8?

 

godsend i got about 1500 in the motor i have the ecu as well. not a cheap setup and powerful from the start

 

I want to try this boost. What was the exact issue? I found a company that makes an adapter plate for the M112, but want to know what went wrong with your build.
