What engine is in the old Ford Lightning?
Generation SVT Lightning: Performance While the 1999 and 2000 models were equipped with a 5. L Eaton-Supercharged V8 that produces 360 HP, the engine was later tuned to provide 380 horsepower 450 lb-ft of torque from the 2000 Model Year and onwards. The very late second-generation SVT Lightning, from 2003 to 2004, is also fairly reliable, having had all the bugs of the second-generation design worked out. As with the original, lots of modifications are possible, and pushing the engine too far increases the likelihood of problems later down the line.Engine Options 231-horsepower 4. V8 with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic and RWD or 4WD. V8 with a 4-speed automatic and RWD or 4WD. V8 engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and RWD.

A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, with a 4- or 5-speed automatic available.
