Very true indeed. The main reason I posted this (aside from the obvious ranting session...) was to also inform other forum members and allow them to be able to track progress of a potential issue and what a possible outcome could be

UPDATE: Whiskey - Tango - Foxtrot!
Napa Ford ordered incorrect parts (again...). Wrong bracket ordered - none in stock! Have to wait a '...few more days.' to get car back after engine replacement.
Moral of Story - DO NOT GO TO NAPA FORD.

Just saw this thread. Sorry you are having so many issues. But I wanted to comment on the numbers matching thing.
I don't beleive they even put a number on the engine to designate that car anymore on a normal version like a GT. I could be wrong but a lot of manufactures stopped doing that.

UPDATE:
I picked up my car last night (Day #45). Short block was replaced. Im waiting on word from Ford Legal department on the buyback of this car (CA Lemon Law states a car in the shop for more than 30 days straight is a Lemon...).
My choice for a replacement....
CHEVY!
Just kidding!
2012 Lava Red 5.0 with HIDs and 3:73. Anyone have or seen the lava red? Man cool looking color, I love my Sterling Gray, but that color was deleted this year in favor of the lava red.

Just a head's up, because of the earthquake in Japan, Lava Red has been deleted and replaced with Sterling Gray.
