You are talking about the FE Ford 390? IMO those motors are bulletproof. But I'm sure there were some failures. I had a 352 FE in my 1965 Ford pickup. Ran great and great power after 45+ years. If the Voodoo is as reliable as the 390 I would be very happy.
A bit off topic but I miss the sound of 4bbl secondarys kicking in....
They shouldn't question anything. The Ford dealer I was a tech at operated the same way. People pay good money for these cars. No need trying to bust their balls the few times warranty is needed.
Awesome! Glad to hear the dealer and Ford is squaring away the car and owner. No doom and gloom hear.
My dealer is the same way. But not all dealers are created equal. I have been to some dismal Ford, Mazda, Chrysler dealers. In fact, I still have an I owe You from a Mazda dealer for an CX-5 I purchased last year. Lucky bastards! I ve been to busy to go and bust their balls.
Well, I went to my dealer today, curious of future allocations. They also have a detail shop that I was dropping the car off to. I get a call about mid day, The shop wanted to know if I was aware of the misaligned front bumper. I said, yes, I took delivery of the car knowing this. He asked my why? I said I was afraid of the quality of workmanship so i did not opt for them to fix it. Well, today I am told that they have fixed two 350's and R and a Tech car that were damaged on delivery. He sold me. They took my car in the body shop to see if it can be fixed. Just got a phone call and was told it would be a $150 repair! I told him this is a warranty repair. I was told it will be rather difficult to get it repaired under warranty because I bought the car back in Jan and in has close to 3k miles. I laughed and told them to get it in the shop. My point?
What exactly is wrong with your bumper? Do you have pics? Two of my bumper tabs on the core support are broken off and being that I come from a family that owns a body shop I fixed it myself because I trust no one.
That's exactly how I feel! I did not want to fix it. I knew about the problem when i took delivery. But, like you said, i trust no one. The front right bumper under the headlight where it meets the fender is poped out some. I do not have pictures since i am at work. It was nothing outstanding. I assume it is either not aligned properly or a broken clip/guide. They notified me before they started the detail work so as to not be held liable. They offered to have the body shop look at it. Called me back said it would be 150, i said fix it and will handle it when i pick up the car.
