Question 1996 F-150 5.8 Supercharger

Hey everyone, I'm new at this site and just looking for some help if any of you have time. I have a 1996 F-150 with a 351 or 5.8L. I'm looking at rebuilding it and putting on a supercharger from a Ford Lightning. If any of you have a slighlty used Vortech Supercharger that it would be great. Thanks a lot, and if I'm wrong that this model won't fit all these, please let me know. Thanks. Chance
4FC218 Vortech Part Number
Should fit the following vehicles:
1987-1996 Ford 5.8 Truck
1993-1995 Ford 5.8 Lightning truck
1987-1996 Ford 5.0 Truck

I thought you said you wanted a blower from a lightning??
Lightnings have a Roots type blower not a centrifical. Are you wanting a vortech? Most Vortech style blowers should work as long as it spins the correct way and if you make the brackets or buy some for that truck.

Or maybe I don't understand what you are looking for

Contact Brian @ JPA. They deal with blowers for anything and everything. He's also a sponsor on the right! ---------->

I'm looking for either or. I'm really looking for just a complete package with wires and brackets, preferably used with less miles on the supercharger, so I could get it a little cheaper. Do you know of where I could get something like this? Thanks a lot.

The first Gen's didn't have a blower at all. Most setups on the 351's are Paxton/Novi's or Vortech's. Don't have room to run the intercooler in the valley.

I'm merging your threads together too. Please don't make multiple threads on the same subject.
