Expedite Backordered 5.2 Voodoo Engine replacement?

[izo]

I have one on order from end of October, no ETA. Seems like it is going to be a while.

is your car at the dealer? How do we make sure they keep the paint in good condition?

Ford performance sold the crate engines that were available, and I thought these were out of production. Are the producing limited runs of new engines just for warranty replacements?

I checked in with the Dealer yesterday, they told me 9 engines were allocated for shipment. I don't know how many orders are before mine but it was good to see some progress...

I can't pass the customer service person - he keeps telling me there are no regional representatives. There are case managers. Is that correct?

UPDATE- I was able to create a case. They told me someone will contact me in one business day. Let's see if this will change anything

Any updates on the case you opened with Ford? Wondering if it’s worth opening one up too, or letting it be. Seems like it’s gonna be a while for these to be fulfilled.

Mine must have been one of the 9 mentioned above, it was delivered to the dealer on 1/11/24, and was finished on 1/23/24. waiting for dry roads next week to pick it up.

edit, timeline for any that care: dropped at dealer on 10/21/23, diagnosed on 10/31/23, ford approved and eng ordered on 11/8/23.

Anyone want to buy a '19 with a brand new engine??? Trans isn't that old either haha...

So what failed on your gen 2?

Understand a small but not insignificant percentage of Gen 1s failed with same scarring/ring failure including mine and if I recall correctly my cylinders were 4,5, and 8. Thought they fixed it with the Gen 2s. Hope for the best.

How many track hours? I’m just looking for a general estimate. Did you use it for both track and daily driving duties?

 

[jmn444]

75+ track days.

So if you look up rebuild intervals on factory race cars, this car didn't disappoint in that respect, but it's also never been actually raced either. Never been on slicks/hoosiers, just 3 days on sc3r and 3 days on the gt350r cup2 were the grippiest tires that have been on it, the bulk of the time was on 200tw re71r or 220 sc3 with a few other 200tw variants along the way.

Was a ton of fun

I personally would love to buy it, but I'd have to sell my 2017 GT - which might not be that easy with all the mods. Good luck with the sale, in my opinion it's a great value with a new engine. Not sure why you're selling. I would think it will be hard to find something better.

"better" is subjective... but a diff experience.... if I had room and time to maintain another car I'd keep it but I prefer to have less things to take care of these days.

Woof woof! Congratulations on getting your new engine. Fellow Evora (400 6sp) here. Beautiful GT!

Thanks! a buddy had a virtually identical one back in '21 and I was fortunate enough to street drive it and ride along on track and it has been on my mind since. I had a deposit on the emira for way too long and this car came along with ohlins and j-hooks and some other little interior carbon stuff already done.... should be fun!

These cars are so good. It's unfortunate the engines have the reputation that they do, real or imagined.
