Thanks to eBay Motors for sponsoring this video!
In this video, I buy a $9,000 engine for my SVT Lightning off eBay Motors! We take some of the engine apart, look inside to inspect its condition and then fire it up while it sits on a wooden pallet. Enjoy the madness and let me know if you’ve ever replaced an engine.

Is it ok to run the engine with a bunch of sand down the spark plug holes ? Broken any other engines lately bro ?
Takes a lot to make a Ford 5.4 to run.
You didn't even put the other valve covers on
The truck is so high cause its a "light"ning get it lol
Would be super cool if you had valve cover or covers that said "Powered by LSC"
JC get a new knife lol.
I know why the head and the intake don't line up its because the triton engine is what ford calls a modular motor so the heads are the same casting so they don't make left and right heads they make one head and one head is backwards that's the thermostat housing hole on the driver side head but there no hole on the back side passenger's block so its a dead hole and some intake cover it up and some don't I'm not a real mechanic but 1000 hours of mechanic YouTube later and here we are
I also would have wanted the computer from the wrecked truck. Tunes as you know are critical for supercharged applications
OMG what a beast!
That engine sounds awesome
Yeah why didn't you blow out the holes where the spark plugs are I don't understand that
You got robbed😂😂
Peter reminds me of Stingray from Cobra Kai
Those valve covers look amazing!
$9k for a junkyard engine? For a Ford ? Honestly I wouldn't pay that much for a used engine specially for a Ford I'd rather overhaul the engine is a big project to risk it for a junkyard engine especially for that amount and resale value of that truck is not that great either so unless you plan to keep it don't blow to much money on it . Good luck
I just noticed how simular this engine is to the Range Rover Sport 5.0 DOHC.
Hopefully all that junk was sucked out of the cylinders before starting it up.
Rods on order ? For fucks sake for what you spent on an unknown condition engine you could have stuffed a set of crower rods or carrillo rods instead of just a run of the mill set of manley H beams .. and yes you bought manley pistons and most assuredly you ordered manley rods because you are not a mechanic or engine builder you go by what you see on the internet. you should have purchased a long block ..and no did not watch the video yet to see if you spent wisely.
Sweet motor…you need a sharper knife!
I'd say you got ripped off.
It's a pet peeve of mine when people don't clean the spark plug area BEFORE taking them out, because it's such an easy thing to do. You can clearly see what happens when you don't @ 15:40. It's quite a destructive thing to have all that crap in the cylinder, can easily ruin an otherwise perfectly good engine in no time. I mean, thousands of $$$ of damage because you can't take an extra minute to blow all that crap out??? 🤬
Alex you should ask Santa for a real Razor Kinfe, I've seen a razor knife before and what you had…yeah that isn't one.
So your intercooler tank looks to be from Johnny Lightning Performance.
They key restriction from stock to making real power after mods is the cams, of course you gotta add heads, etc. My friend made 750/775 with foxlake heads, custom cams, 2.6 Kenne Bell. 60 lb injectors and dual pumps. It put down 350 stock on the same dyno.
Damn that sounded like a beast!
What a beast. I’m getting one of these
Been subscribed for awhile. For some reason just got hooked again. Been watching all weekend. As many have said. I like Peter.
Awesome awesome awesome video man. I cant wait to see this truck complete!
Both heads are exactly the same. You can put them on ether side of the block. You just choose which side then put the cams on.
Believe me friend if I have trouble following up the sequence of your projects , so will many other people. Please KISS…(keep it simple s…)
Sugestion…My SVT lightning part 3 ( bought a new engine)….instead of I Bought A $9,000 Engine For My SVT Lightning Off eBay Motors! First Start On A Pallet! It's LOUD!
Just love the sound! wish I knew you when I was living In Aurora
Should’ve modded a 4.6.
Would’ve made soo many improvements, and mods to make everyone else super jelly.
I'm not to sure about the dirt being dropped into the cylinder
