(LSX, Crate, Turbo)
Thinking of a new project...
Those things from the factory were pig *** slow... but with an lsx transplant, it would be a whole different story. A 454 lsx would probably be enough to scare the pants off anyone that ever came in contact with it.

I remember those trucks, I think they only came in that color combo (black), at least at first they did.
The first year was REALLY bad (no horsepower but decent torque) but then they added some more power to it and it was a little better...the first gen Lightnings (the 351 NA boxier version F-150s) were still quicker (and a little lighter, the SSs were HEAVY) and of course the supercharged Lightnings destroyed the SS but it's still a decent starting point with PLENTY of room under the hood to add some umm, extras.
If bought cheap enough it could be an awesome project.

if your gonna mod it alot get a high mile beat up one. A mint original motor piece is gonna be a collectible car. I think they made a very small amount of white ones which would be more collectible.
it should have a 4l80e in it so thats a good trans to start with and id do a 450+ci lsx block with a turbo on it with ls7 etp heads and a lsx gmpp intake with a elbow and 100mm t body truck will be an animal
