Replaced Voodoo Engine

[olaosunt]

No

It still doesn't have the oil balancer lines for 4 and 8 like the FP350S engine does, right?

No but it’s easy to add .
i added them with the MMR coolant lines when I swapped my block .

Spolier alert.... isn't there a gen 3 now?

What is the diff between this and Gen2? I read and sims all the same.

Extra machining step in the Gen 3 to clear the larger predator rods .
oil squirters in valley and not the mains.

Do you have to have the block out to install? I got the engine going in and it will be installed by tomorrow most likely...

 

[NoXiDe]

This just got installed.

Hard for me to tell.. but I think that's a Feb 02 2021 build date based on the Julian Calendar.

it can be done with the engine in the car but Its obviously easier done with the engine on a stand .

Yep, day 33 of 2021 is Feb 2nd 2021.

My build on day 22 of 2019 is Jan 22nd 2019.

So I asked the tech and a few other folks, it didn't appear to come with any tech info like a document or anything with an explanation as to what the improvements are. I assume most people don't care and I or our community just fall in that 1% that do.

I'm just curious to know what changes were made and if this build even can be considered a gen 3.

Maybe I missed it but what led to the motor swap @NoXiDe?

History: 36,000 miles. Well, it's really strange so I wasn't going to share. She consumed oil 1 quart and 1/2 half in 1,000 miles but when driven on track it consumed none. A week before the engine replacement, I was told I could continue with the track event as the aftermath wouldn't matter. I was surprised to see it consumed 0 oil on track. I literally brought 2 bottles quarts of oil with me. lol.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting, perhaps what you described is related to vacuum? At WOT your vacuum drops to nil, perhaps helping with oil consumption. Just cruising around town vacuum levels would be higher. Just a WAG.

Either way congrats on the new engine. Next up 1k break-in miles. Did they offer you any additional warranty?

If the oil is leaking past the valve guides - a valve stem seal issue - it's not unusual for it to seem to stop during track use. It's all about how much time the engine spends running with high vacuum in the intake. At the track, you're running six (let's say) 20 minute sessions - that's two hours - at large throttle and low vacuum. City and highway driving racks up hour after hour after hour at small throttle and high vacuum.

Hello; This has nothing to do with the Mustang but made me recall my first car. It was a 1957 Chevy. A four door with a straight six and three speed. Also had vacuum wipers. When I was on the gas the wipers would almost stop. When I let off the gas they worked fast.

Just got word that my 2017 GT350 will be getting a new long block today. The car has a history of AC failures that I have an ooen complaint on as the dealers here were simply filling up the r134 and not repairing anything. The AC grenaded right before the bumper to bunper ended and the dealers ignored me immediately.

Car has just over 40k miles. Less than a year left on powertrain warranty. Bone stock. Changed oil every 3k miles. The only oil related issue I had ever was the tech didnt tighten the filter once so it all leaked out on the way home. Took it back and they corrected it. That was 20k miles ago. I didnt have any major oil consumption issues until recently. Always kept it filled up.

Right side valvetrain started ticking and rattling badly about two weeks ago. I parked it and had it towed to the dealer. Dealer called and said that there was significant scoring on the cam and journals on both sides. Should have it back in a couple of weeks with a new long block. Hopefully I can get the AC issue fixed as well.
