There is great article in the recent MM&FF Trucks special that covers Lightnings. It is a build up of the 5.4L aluminum block to be put into a Lightning, I think it was Johnny Lightning's truck - fast Lightning guy, ran in the mid-10s at like 133 or similar. Naturally the output was far higher than the Ford GT output, no since in not building it better when you are starting from scratch.
