[USER=20286]@EricM[/USER] Apparently since they're going OEM, Ford doesn't sell a Crate Motor so that's why they had to part out all the individual bits. From what I understand it's mostly for removal of old, then assembly of the new engine and putting it back in. That being said it still seems like a lot.I will ask about this, it's pretty vague.I would probably have confidence knowing the entire engine was replaced and should be good for a long time. I'd likely only put 3-5k miles on it per year. So assuming I did all the proper maintenance it could last a long time, but I know this gen has more issues than others.Also it would be hard for me to do the same thing to the next guy... definitely sucks.
