A friend of mine is looking to pick up a late model Lightning 5.4 powerplant assembly complete to swap into his Expedition. So far, he has found a 2001 piece with a grenaded lower end. So, the question is, what is different in the lower end from the factory between the standard 5.4 and the squeeze box version?

I'd appreciate it. I hate registering for one post, especially if it's something I'm not likely to be in again. Thanks!

"Squeeze" was used as a synonym for "supercharged" long before nitrous came along. A squeeze box would be a supercharged motor. I didn't mean to confuse anyone. I think there's more to it than compression. Forged parts? Better block?

I'm gonna go ahead and paste that for you as well so there is no confusion. Erik D. '94 white lightning
I sent this link to my friend, and also pointed him to the Arizona Lightning Club's forum. Thanks for your help, Erik.
