This story has some entertainment potential.

So you swapped the engine on the car, broke a piston (no easy feat with the forged 03 Cobra shortblock) and now you want it fixed under warantee?

You are SOL and you are a moron. Please explain this situation though........ :D:D:D

Yeah, you're responsible for breaking your engine, yet you expect Ford to fix it on their dime for something that it wasn't designed to do? You are a dick, and contribute to the reason Ford is reluctant to fix cars under warranty.

Well you'd just be scamming out the dealerships, but anyways, good luck with the car. Sounded like a fun ride.

1. You mod, it blows up, it's your dime.

2. Learn how to type correctly.

3. You are still a dick.

I am confused;


You have a motor that is blown because of supercharging.

You sold the 03 Cobra block

You want Ford to fix your GT engine that you put a supercharger on.

Am i following you?

Most of the folks who have blown their modded motors have paid out of pocket to fix it.
It's called "you play, you pay."

Ok, I'm still not getting this whole story. Now I'm not trying to be a dick here but please try to explain in more detail what exactly happened here. It sounds like you bought an 03 cobra motor, had it in the GT, blew it up, but now you don't have the motor anymore. Everything is stock again you said?
Am I following this correctly?
