The first generation 1993-1995 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning was the blue oval's first take at a factory sport truck. This 1994 white Lightning is a good example of a well-kept truck. The owner recently installed a rebuilt 351 Windsor engine that features a calculated 9:1 compression ratio (which is just a slight bump over the factory compression ratio) and a mild camshaft. Like any gearhead, they were interested to see the power and torque numbers; so we loaded it on our dyno to find out. Considering the hot ambient temperatures and a second gear pull, the truck made good power and torque. Checkout all of the vehicle specs below.

Car Specs:
  • Rebuilt 351W
  • 9:1 Compression (Calculated)
  • Mild Camshaft (Unknown specs)
  • E4OD Auto Transmission (2nd gear pull)
  • Aluminum Driveshaft
  • 12* of Timing
  • 4.10 Rear Gear
  • OEM 17" Wheels w/ 275/60/17 Tires
  • 93 Octane Fuel

Dyno Results:
  • 212 Horsepower
  • 280 lb-ft Torque
