This link is particularly troublesome, because it shows how they did whatever they could to weasel out of replacing the VERY costly long blocks. They cost about the same as a GT350 long block back then due to the advanced tech for the time.

Tons of info on there. It's not organized very well, but they did what they could with the tools available to them back then. Most of this hasn't really been updated since the mid 2000's. They catalogued over 1500 engine failures during the process of the class action lawsuit that was filed against Ford, which unsurprisingly Ford won based on a technicality. All cars that aren't welded will fail eventually. There's less than 1500 left out of the 21,000 car production run by this point.
