well its a wap block, but aside from that it looks good. But looks can be deceiving.

CobraRed01 said:Of course, doing the LDC cooling mod will probably void the 1-year warranty. Better to wait to see how well she runs first. I like your "drive the hell out of it for the next year" idea...that's what I plan on doing as I have 1 year left myself. Nothing abusive mind you...just driving it like a 32V V8 should be driven...shall we say....with purpose.

quick update - I found out my motor was remanned by AER Manufacturing who is an original Ford Authorized Distributor. I feel much better about where my motor came from with regard to quality. Here is the site if anyone wants to check it out: www.aermanufacturing.com.
i also found out they warranty their motors for 3 yr/100k miles..... the service advisor and myself will be on a conference call with the warranty company this afternoon. that is bullshit for the warranty company to only give me 1 yr/12,000 mi warranty....:fm:
BlueVenom01 said:I believe using 6 quarts led to the death of my oil pump, therefore spun bearings. I bang her pretty hard every now and then and drive like I stole it. Unfortunately, I think the damage was already done or in process before I found out from all of you about Ford engineering's infinite wisdumb in deciding that 6 qts was enough oil for such a high revving performance motor....dumbasses. :cuss:
THIS motor will get 7 qts with every oil change, guaranteed, starting with the first fill up. Luckily the SVT tech working on my car agrees that the Ford engineers were dead wrong about 6 qts!
quick01snake said:yeah...ream their asses over this warranty BS!!!
SPXTrader said:Oh God, now you've done it...you shouldn't have mentioned the 7 quart issue...cobraracer46 will mysteriously appear at your home and drain 1 quart while you're asleep!
Let this be a lesson to all you non-believers in the 7 quart fill!
Good luck with the motor, looks very good! Hope it runs like a bat out of hell!

CobraRed01 said:Excellent research. If the reman people will cover their motor for 3 yrs/100k miles the warranty company should definitely pass that on to you. Grab dem rocks and squeeze.
