first of all, no one at Ford or anyone on this forum should be calling something stolen when they don't know what they;re talking about. Ford's system of scrapping or dismantling vehicles and engines is not understood by most people at Ford, especially the engineers or program managers. It is very possible (or likely) that the test mule Super Duty pickups were scrapped and the early GT engines went to a core supplier or rebuilder. DST who did much of this work for Ford could care less if it was a Ford GT engine or a 4.6 2valve out of a Crown Vic. They (DST) did the job they were paid to do. Just becuase we hold the GT engine to the highest of powertrains, the core program people could care less so don't accuse someone of having something stolen unless you know ALL the facts first. I hardly think Dan would be advertising stolen parts here or anywhere else.
I just did call it STOLEN, after research. PERHAPS SINCE YOU NOW HAVE BECOME THE EXPERT YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST A BILL OF SALE. WE ALSO CAUTIONED EVERYONE INCLUDING DAN THAT THIS ENGINE MOST LIKELY LEFT THROUGH THE BACK DOOR OF FMC. WE WILL WAIT FOR THE BILL OF SALE, AND IF PRODUCED, WE BE SENDING OR REGRET FOR THE ACCUSATIONS.
