Got Flex back today form the dealer. New long block and turbos installed. Turn around time was about 5 days. I also now have $500 in service credits from the huge repair bill.
Did notice that they left the VTA mod and did not complain about the CAI installed either. Under warranty for 3 years. I guess I will keep the mod list low until that time is over. Not sure if I want to keep my tune and tuner for the time being or sell it.
Glad I am back in the Flex, I really missed the ride.
What dealership did you use?  When I checked with Ford and having them do it, I got told by 3 different dealerships that the engine was on backorder?

I confirmed with Ford and the engine is TWO days out.  Z http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,6656.30.html

I have around 650 miles on the new motor. I took it real easy the first 500, just to break it in. Felt like grandpa driving around on Sundays... Now that that has passed, I've done a few WOT runs and man do I miss the tune. Now I can really tell a difference. Oh well... it is what it is. Been running good, dealer is flipping the throttle body as I type this. I hated spending that much money, but I feel good with the work and with the dealer where I had the work. I hope I don't have issues in the future, but if I do, I feel they will take care of me.
Thanks for all the help on here with this.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Sweet man... so how are you going to use those service credits :)

I'm just curious. You said, a couple times, that you were waiting to hear back from Livernois. Did they ever give you a price?

I did. Pretty pricey and just couldn't come up with the extra money. It would have been sweet, but not worth the extra $5000 at this time.
