So boys rip to my baby girl, cyl 2 blew a hole in my block. Although I am broke as a joke, I have ordered the babubu short block from FFP. I have no idea on how to do an engine swap, but I have literally no money to pay someone to do it once my block comes in (lol yay pandemic) So I will need all advice that one could possibly get before I start this journey in about 4 weeks, thanks boys. (also if anyone lives near Orlando,FL and is trying to get their good deeds in for the year feel free to swing on by)

Take pictures, make notes, every hose, wire and bolt! Rent or borrow all the right tools.

You really need to invest in the factory shop manual! It's a little pricey, but it shows step by step procedures for removing and installing the engine, as well as taking it apart and putting it back together. Very valuable info!

This is one source, lot's of others shown on a google search.........

I got one for my 2016, but I don't remember exactly where I bought it. It is on CD-ROM, no paper copies available as far as I can see......

Mods? Duration of time on tune? Operating conditions at time of failure? Seems like a lot of failures here happen under light load and not on wot runs

 

[Andrew@Lethal]

Hit up the boys over at Parker Performance. They are close to you and ecoboost mustangs are their specialty. They won't charge you an arm and a leg either.

Hey dude, sorry this happened. Are you able to shed some light on the circumstances that this occured?

I was full bolt on 93 tuned(had tune for about 20k miles), happened when I was doing 30 coming down to a stop sign. AFR was fine and everything.

Ill give them a call but I highly doubt I can afford a whole engine swap lol thanks for the info though!

Don't really know what happened, I even have the updated low pressure fuel sensor and everything. Cyl 2 decided it wanted to go for a walk and it did lol I was literally doing 30 coming to a stop, in 2nd gear.

I am weary about the fuel sensor thing. I feel like, a lot of people who blew up with it, hindsight, maybe it wouldn't of blown up with oem.

we don't really know the difference other than a presumed, hole for tooling. how long ago did you do fuel sensor? 20k with the tune I assume

First mod I did to the car tbh, so I had it on for 30k miles before the tune.

 

[Rogues Gambit]

Sorry that it happened.

Its tough times here, so maybe you can work out a payment plan with them, like "Every week I'll pay this much off"

Also, Intercooler or naw?
