    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.

    Whipple or Hellion Sleeper

    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.

    04 GT

    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.

    Shifter

    Fwiw: if you’ve never driven a mustang with an MGW shifter, it’s a night and day difference. I’ve almost pulled the trigger about 6 times, but I sorta promised the misses that I wasn’t going to mod this one anytime soon... also, the little oil burning issue my car has doesn’t exactly give me...

    Change to the change... they want me to do 2 more consumption tests before swapping my motor.

    Update: I put 700ish miles on the car and took it back to the dealer this morning. They pulled the dip stick and it was bone dry. Burned around 2 or 3 quarts I guess... needless to say, I’m getting a new motor next week.

    Angrey's way too early GT500 price handicapping contest

    I’m guessing base will be around $75k. Doesn’t matter much to me, without a manual trans, I’ll never own one

    Picked it up yesterday. I have to drive it 1k miles and bring it back to them to check the oil level.

    It’s at the dealer. Their service techs were surprisingly way cool about it and didn’t try to bs me. They flat told me that they are likely going to do an oil consumption test and that the last one they seen doing what mine is doing ended up with a new motor. They are going to fix the other...

    I’ve never gone without a mustang my entire adult life and I don’t know if I really want to jump ship... I know that the millisecond my wife’s car is paid off, I would be able to go buy a cobra. I do miss tinkering (I wish I had never sold my built 04 Sonic Blue GT)... so, it’s a hard...

    I added 4 quarts of castrol edge 5w50 and now it’s in between the holes on the dip stick. It could probably stand another 1/2 quart or more, but I cleaned out the local O’Reillys. I’m taking the car to Ford for screaming brakes and wind noise from the drivers side window Friday, i’ll bring it...

    Wow... so I have put a whopping 3k miles on my car. I don’t typically wind it up, and I have never been to the track. I just checked the oil (cold) and it’s not even registering on the dip stick! WTF? I would understand it if I were constantly above 7k and tracking it, but I don’t rip on it (too...

    Tempted to trade- need advice

    I daily my 350 just like I daily’d my procharged ‘15 GT, and my KB(11psi)/Cammed/FBO ‘04 GT before I sold them... the 350 has very mild street manners until you wind it up (reminds me of a 2 stroke dirtbike). I can’t speak to the 500, but having had a PD blown 2v, a centri blown coyote, and now...
