Hey. I found your old Eaton swapped Mach and I am considering buying it. I’m trying to determine the history and such... why did you trade it in and what all is done to it if you don’t mind me asking.

Which one and why? If your going to stay NA, I understand why. Lol. Just looking for some opinions from those who have already done it or are thinking about some pressurized atmosphere.

Well so far, so good... I’ve got around 250 miles on the new motor, it’s definitely quieter (weird sewing machine noises are not present), it’s making more power, the oil is still spot on (and clean), no soot on the tips, and it hasn’t burned a drop.

I will look into the amsoil testing. On another note; one of my troops asked what I would do if this new motor popped... It got me wondering... if this one goes south, could I convince Ford to give me an Aluminator 52xs instead of another Voodoo? thoughts?

I would also like to mention after reading through the paperwork, it apparently had an issue with the compression test on cyl 3 and they found oil on the back side of the valves. I took the car out for a while today and the difference is notable with the new motor. The weird vibration I had...

For sure... I only mentioned it because I heard some people were still getting the earlier motors I have no idea, but it would be awesome if they did. I too am looking at either a Whipple or a Hellion Sleeper kit (when it’s paid in a couple years) - probably Whipple. If I can avoid replacing...

Has anyone confirmed if these ‘19 R motors have GT500 (boost friendly) oil pump gears? Last I heard, it was a maybe.

Engine swap complete! Runs like a champ, I can’t tell they even swapped it other than the handprints on stuff in the engine bay.

Either 93 or e85

I may be buying my old ‘04 Mustang GT back. I already put a 2.1 Kenne Bell on it and MHS Stage 1 blower cams in it... assuming my plan works out to get it, I am trying to decide on my long term plan. Here is what I am thinking: Glenn’s Performance fuel system MMR 1000 long block with Boss...

Just dropped the car off. It’s getting a KA555 GT350R motor.

I was told today that Ford authorized the motor replacement and they are getting everything on order. I wish there was some way of tracking this online.

I had to take the car to the dealer for pictures... of what, I dunno. Otherwise still waiting on words.

The service manager seemed pretty confident that Ford is going to send me a new motor. I am a little concerned because during the first test, the request was made and Ford wanted two more done. I hope they have everything straightened out with the 19+ motors.

Update: I finally put 1k miles on the car since the last oil consumption test... burned 3 quarts. This is the 2nd test they have done. Dealer is going to ping Ford again about a new motor.
