Need to check on fuel delivery after install, probally need a ECU remapping for additional fuel for the bigger cubic inches and higher compression. Possibly could be taken care of with bigger injectors, but couldn't be sure...

I would check to see what the rear end gear is on your truck along with the type trans you are using. Adding extra HP might not give you the results you want. If you want to tow then you need to talk to a truck expert about gearing. You might need a shift kit in the tranny along with a trans cooler and depending on the rear end gear it might make it under powered. Just because you are adding HP doesn't mean it will add that to the pavement. You will also need to think about exhaust such as 3inch duals and headers to help get the best power. What about brakes and tires a 392 might be over 400hp or more and you need to make sure it stops and well as it goes. It should bolt straight in with no problem but think about the cooling system and the fuel system, can your fuel pump handle the needed fuel pressure flow.
Remember anyone can make a car or truck go fast but not everyone can drive a fast car or truck.

I had a 351 in my Lightning and got 8-12. What gears are in the rear? (N/M, looked, they are 3:73's) I would think that regular 87 or 89 gas would be fine. What does the current owner say they are running? Are you limited to spending a certain amount? Becuase the newer trucks make a good amount of power, have better gas mileage and some creature comforts.

If that 392 has some big horsepower you better be prepared to beef up that tranny and rear end.

Yes as long as you have MAF and not the speed density EFI. Depending on the camshaft size, you may need a mild stall converter.

Yeah the truck driveline will handle that just fine.......
Guys with cars go looking for truck components like yours has all the time to hold up to hi-perf engines.
