Got great news this morning from Todd Andrews at Roush. He called me this morning and told me exactly whats going on... In the short of it. I'm basically going to have a new motor. They are putting all new pistons, rings and beehive springs. This will bring the compression up a bit from 10:1 and stop that little smoke that all FE's seem to do. My motor is serial #3 and was one of their first Shelby Aluminum block builds and since then they have made vast improvements internally. Todd says I'll just love it and it will be even more responsive. Can't wait 2 weeks!!!
