It kinda sucks but I'm not going to be mad at the man that wants to put a brand new motor in my car.

Ummm, I am missing the part where this situation sucks. Brand new 5.0 long block free of charge... what's the problem again?

Its not a bad thing just annoyed with the situation.

In the end you will be happy brother. Better to have an engine without problems (and zero miles) than one that was rebuilt that it could happen to again. You may get lucky with a 2013/2014 engine that was built with leftover Boss 302 parts.

Yes. Currently I have a '13 fusion ecoboost

I will be going up there to get some stuff out of the car and see if they can switch me into a truck or something else. Im to tall for this car.

Shouldn't be too bad if you only have to drive it for 3 days.

Been in it for a week now. Looks like I wont have the car back until Wednesday at the latest. Still waiting for a call back from the dealership.

So you fit in a Mustang GT but not in a Fusion?

**Pewter Lurch** · 04-03-2014, 05:34 PM

I have more leg room in the stang and the seats fit me better.

**Pewter Lurch** · 04-03-2014, 06:13 PM

Talked to the dealership and they are going to replace the motor. Going to run a brand new long block. Also told me that when I pick up the car to put my tune back on. They know I already had it on there and he knows that the Steeda needs it.(luckily he is a mustang guy) Damn Steeda! Looks like I will have it anytime Wednesday-Friday.

Well finally got the car back last night. Took awhile for Ford to approve the warranty work. New long block installed and I forgot how much I love this car! Sounds and runs so much better when firing on all 8. Also had VMP send me a custom tune and all I can say it HOLY SHIT! Love this tune. Time for cat deletes to be put on and start on my suspension.

**Soulowd** · 04-17-2014, 11:12 AM

glad to see you got your stang back man!

**DirtyD** · 04-17-2014, 12:04 PM

Glad you got it back without a hitch, Grant...aka sig stealer. lol
