Seeing lots of Voodoo motors blowing up in stock form. Unfortunately not a rare occurrence

The car belongs to a friend of mine. Engine started losing power, then seized. Not sure what happened. He was still warming up when it happened, no missed shift, no over rev. Likely a manufacturing issue, much like a number of the early C7 engines. Stuff happens. Ford’s response will be the important thing to me.

Well hopefully FoMoCo does the right thing and gets him back on track. Wishing your friend the best of luck and sorry to hear that it happened.

Quick update on this car. It took Ford 10 days to make the decision to replace the engine (a bit long considering there was a rod hanging out the side of the block) but a new motor is on the way. No idea what the cause was, but Ford is taking care of it.

On other hand, during the first year of the new Shelby GT350 if it wasn't optioned with the track package wich included additional coolers, if the car's engine while tracking got damaged, there was no warranty covered by FOMOCO if the damage to the engine happened while tracking it (even in a ocassional event), there were several unhappy customers with this situation. Afterwards Ford on the following years included the trackpack on all their new Shelbys GT350s to prevent this issue.

That isn't true at all. Many 5.2 parts (including heads and intake) work and fit on a 5.0 Coyote with little or no adjustments. The bottom end is very similar in design as well minus the crankshaft planes.
