[QUOTE="ShiftyThePirate, post: 14776674, member: 163467"] Any 2011 should still be under power-train warranty (60k\5 years), plus yeah, you like I, have the rare aluminum 100lb lighter block they ONLY made for 11 and '12, which really fixes a lot of the slop the prior GT-500s had with that extra 100lbs in the front + reinforcement via plasma coating. Looking for a new block with a car that young, and going backwards, is just bad. Sell it or keep that block in there. Aluminum 5.4l's are the reason buyers love the '11 and '12. I had an offer to get an '10 GT-500 Convert loaded out with just 4k, but went with the '12 GT-500 w\ 17k due to the improvements on the engine, and 100lbs less on the front, no 11-12 owner is going to want the old heavy iron block. Also +1 on why have you not contacted who sold it to you? Three days and all full of issues? Who did you buy this thing from? If it was a dealer, take the thing back, obv you are throwing check engine lights and all sorts of stuff, right? Pretty simple solution. [/QUOTE]
