Tech questions for you guys/gals???????
1) Will the SC assembly(charger down to intake) from a lightning be a direct bolt on to a 2005 5.4 3v F250 motor?
2) Would the OEM fuel pump on an 2005 F250 be adequate for a stock lightning SC swap with stock pully, or is the Lightning pump required so you don't melt down the motor?
3) How much should an R&R of a motor on a 2005 F250 cost....or at least actual hours required for the work(not book hours)?
4) Can lower bearings(crank) be replaced on the above truck motor while still in the truck?
5) If so how much and how long should something like that take?
6) How much would it normally cost to replace lower bearings on a 2005 3v 5.4 motor with it out of the truck?
7) Anyone know if the exhaust manifolds are assemetrical enough to swap from one side to the other? Swapping them in order to have the dump port facing the front of the truck. I know its a weird question, but was just curious cause i don't have tons of spare parts laying around to compare.

Wasting your time to try and make that swap... 3v and 2v don't play well together.. 2's and 4v's work.. but 3's are the odd man out...
All that being said, you might be able to get it to fit with some adapters, but actually getting it to work is a whole other story...
If you want a L motor, buy an L motor, or a 2v and make it an L motor...
My 2¢
