Some of their prebuilt vehicles don't look like a bad deal.  5k to 7k for a v6 Sammy.  It might be worth it to get a clean Tracker for 3-4k and do the 10k turn-key kit.

Ahhh.  Lightning Conversions.  They were an integral part of a pretty nasty situation at the '03 'Melt.

From my first-hand observations of that "event",  I don't think I would do business with them unless something major had changed in how they conduct business.

expensive, but you seem to get alot of parts with the basic kit, so i'd say it's worth the price. but were is the radiator kept, cause it doesn't show it in the pictures.

I someday want to swap in a 4.0 out of a ranger into my kick.  4.0, 5spd out of a 2wd truck, and bolt it to my sammi case (that has yet to be installed!)

Have you weighed a Toy V-6, I am 100% TOY fan But I would not use there v-6 over a 4.3 1) I have done the 4.3 conversion. and 2) it weigh less, more aftermarket support etc. but to each his own. My current setup vortec 4.3 4l60E trand dual toy cases 5:01 rear gear and 5:71 R/P. As far as Lightning Conversions  Go  CRAP I have 2 of there rigs In my shop being redone. Hack ia a word that just doesnt seem to cover there overall job. The motor install looks great but there brackets and mounts are hideuos. Not to mention there welding. My 9 yr old could weld better. I cracked brackets off the frame with a regular hammer.
