I believe this only comes into play if you want to add more boost. However your engine is lighter, so that is a plus!So my engine is inferior to the 350R and the 2019 Models??
I guess you did not read that article in its entirety including the cations under the pictures. Many of the changes for the boosted GT500 have been rolled back into the GT350 production to maintain continuity.That's for the 2020 5.2 Cross Plane modifications which is why it can sustain boost. The 350 will continue to be built the same way it was previously built. I do hope I'm wrong tho.
I did, I noticed it stated to cut costs... that's why I added the last sentence on the above post that I hope that I'm wrong which is to imply that I'd like to see those changes in the 2019 GT350. Side note, I got to take that site with a grain of salt. Although, there is nothing to secure on that specific site (HTTP). They could throw a free SSL Cert like https://letsencrypt.org/ and then I might take that source slightly a bit more serious.I guess you did not read that article in its entirety including the cations under the pictures.

WOW inferior is a strong word. Changes are made all the time to improve a product. Behind the scenes changes to the Voodoo have been happening for years with piston and piston rings and other things. 2019 and 2020 have taken larger steps forward with the development of the GT500 engine. Ford needed to beef up the GT500 engine to handle the added boost. They also wanted to control costs by using a common block, heads and other components. The Voodoo has been in production for 5 years and time marches on. A few year from now I hope my 2019 is "inferior".So my engine is inferior to the 350R and the 2019 Models??
All the confirmed changes I posted in the OP are directly stated in the article. Also that site is legit, they are a magazine.I did, I noticed it stated to cut costs... that's why I added the last sentence on the above post that I hope that I'm wrong which is to imply that I'd like to see those changes in the 2019 GT350.

Yeah inferior is too strong a word, it was late lol. I know small revisions are made in a products life cycle, but reading the article makes it sound like they developed Voodoo Gen 2 with improvements across the board, especially to durability, and reliability.WOW inferior is a strong word.

You have a great car and should LOVE it. We all struggle with the thoughts of waiting for the next MY and the next new improvements. But then think about all the fun and drive time you would have missed out on. Drive it and enjoy it and don't look in the rear view mirror. Life is too short and getting shorter. Enjoy the ride my friend it don't get any better than this.Don't get me wrong, I like my car.
Yes, that's what I've noticed on all those that have for one reason or another had their engine replace by Ford, All seem to be 'R' engines....One thing that I'm noticing is that all 2019 engines are of the GT350R variant. I've seen numerous GT350 engines with the GT350R data tag. Until I see an engine data tag that states otherwise, I think it's safe to move the GT350R changes into confirmed.
Hmmmmmmmmm?????? Your point is???Sure. Let's sell more Shelby's.
