Settled the claim against Ford today. Ended up with an 8y/100k warranty, 3y/45k maintenance plan, payment reimbursement for the period it was in the shop (45 days), and a cash settlement. Time to install the rest of the parts I've been collecting while it has been in the shop. Gotta give Ford...
Cold start can be pretty rowdy. I do feel for the neighbors when I leave for work. The rest of the time though, I love it. I had the Borla S-type on my '15 GT and really liked it and from I understand, Ford worked with Borla for the GT350.
Installed the Ford Performance passenger side oil/air separator today; no easy feat with the Mishimoto coolant expansion tank. I shot them an email with a suggestion to move the bung on the overflow to make this an easier process.
Wasn't much but I'm super impressed with how easy the Rokbloks are to install without modifying anything on the car. Hopefully the give the leading edge of the rear quarter panels some love because that area got really beat up on my '15 GTPP.

Edit: got in there with a camera and was able to find it (I think).
Engine swap was completed this week and everything looks pretty good under hood except for this line (not sure what it is). I have a clip floating in an area that doesn't appear to have a hole for it to snap into. Can somebody snap of picture of their vehicle so I can try to figure it out? This...
Ruby red is sexy. Love it on my '12 GT; when the sun hits it just right there are few things as beautiful. Not sure how that cement looking primer gray got in the mix but blah.
After 45 days, the engine replacement and associated work has been completed and the car is home. It's toasty outside so I haven't inspected it real well but this is the only thing that jumps out at the moment (other than the hard water they have out there).
