Has anyone seen any correlation between the builders and the engine failures? And believe me I'm not trying to throw anyone under the bus but I remember a story years back when the Corvette ZR1 first came out with what was then a nearly 400 horsepower double overhead cam 5.7 liter super motor; and they were having a ton of engine failures. they didn't know what was going on or what was going wrong until one morning a supervisor happened to hear one of the lot attendants who was charged with starting the cars, starting one cold with the pedal matted to the floor?!?! Some people just don't know what they just don't know and if there was some mistake being made...

I wouldn't think there is a correlation since the builders just assemble all the parts to specs. Its getting to the point that its pretty obvious Ford has some design problem with the Voodoo. And they ain't talking. Just putting another engine in that may or may not do the same thing. And to try to cover there butt sent us all a letter that its just ok to use a quart of oil every 500 miles. I don't think its ok!

Brian Klepak built my GT350r Heritage motor. Interesting to see single builder single names as this thread continues. It is cool to be personalized. Mahalo Brian.

I remember that (I owned a 91 ZR1) and that engine was bullet proof. As I recall, the simple fix they implemented was to extend the "crank to start" times in the software.

That LT5 was a great engine

Mr Nanney is the singular name on my 2020 HEP R.

Let's hope he's the man! LOL

Doyle F. Nanney & James Williams for mine too. J0953.

Nice to see at least Doyle has been putting these together for a few years.

I have not seen Nanney's name much. Yea, so far so good (KNOCK ON WOOD PLEASE!). I've got just over 7k miles and have NEVER added a drop of oil between changes. I broke it in exactly per owners manual. I never get on it until oil temp is 170, but I also NEVER warm it up by idling and I never start it without driving it for at least 20 minutes. It takes a solid 10 minutes in 45* temps to get the oil to 170.

I've also got an 8 year B2B warranty, so I sleep soundly at night. In 7 years I'll decide whether to keep it or sell it with the transferrable warranty. For now, LOVE the car!

Back on topic: I'm always surprised when there's a single name on the builder plaque. It's supposed to be a two person team, Ford talks about all the merits of doing it that way. I wonder how it happens that sometimes it's just one name.

I thought I read that in 2019 it went to one name/builder per engine. Could have been a dream also????

This is my guy. Whoever he is he sucks, my drivers side timing chain came off and wrecked the engine at 130 miles.
