KR3Z-8190-AA retails for $377.27 and is currently on backorder until 3/16.

There is the normal valve cycle that happens when you push the clutch, however the car does stop the valves in a partial open position and then does a cycle to closed once the engine starts. The easiest way to avoid this is the AWE tuning exhaust module, which gives you total control over the...

I put my order in on the 11th for a twister orange, black vinyl stripes, recaros, tech package and carbon dash.

At this point it's all over the place. I see 3-5 base models a week posted within the GT500 groups I'm a part of for MSRP. I even saw a CFTP at MSRP last week. But for every one at MSRP, I see 15 at $8k-15k+ ADM. Really boils down to how far you're willing to travel and how hard you want to...

That does seem a little odd. When I had an issue with my exhaust valves sticking on the GT350, it would say "drive modes unavailable" and "exhaust selection unavailable" and I couldn't switch either unless I shut the car off and turned it back on. Maybe there's a failsafe to keep the valves from...

By ford’s whacky definitions, long block is fully dressed (or mostly dressed in some cases) service engine has block, rotating assembly, and complete heads, and short block is bare block with rotating assembly only.

About 8 grand for the rack and the column internals are the same as any other mustang. So around $1200 not including trim pieces, steering wheel, or electronics.

Idk if you’ve seen my trickles of part pricing in the forums, but a long block, CFTP wheels and CFTP wing together cost as much as a whole fully loaded base GT500 and then some.

The really messed up part is Ford considers a short block as just the block, crank and pistons.

Service engine is basically block, crank assembly with pistons, and valve train with heads. The assumption being that you can transfer the other components over from the old engine. Long block is the whole kit and kaboodle including supercharger, injectors and the lot. Half the time ford’s long...

*Sigh* I really dislike automotive journalism sometimes. $24,748.43 is the cost for a service engine only. The full long block is $43,539.37.

A full long block is $43,539.37, and a service engine is $24,748.43; both plus labor, fluids, misc bolts and so on.

If you want to shoot me the last 8 of your VIN I'd be happy to check price and availability for a new cover and cushion for you.

$47,500.

I sold to a dealer because I had it for sale everywhere since July and couldn’t get any bites. I took a hit on it but it’s better than holding on all winter. Now someone in PA will buy it for $4k more than I was asking. And the plan now is to get a GT500 from the dealer I work at.
