I've been thinking about this kit for a while. Thank you for the review.

What year gt350?

Instead of a tune. Check out the Advanced Fuel Dynamics Pro Flex Commander Flex Fuel Kit. No tune necessary. It modulates the fuel system based on ethanol content.

A few unknowledgeable comments... Great car man! Sounds badass! Just ordered a Whipple for my R. 💪

I’m thinking the previous owner knew when to walk away

It sounds menacing I love it. It's def pure bliss to drive just got mine last month.

E85 and power turbo boss..

then you brader content video your..

Good luck!

Dude. Put some hydraulic hood lift struts in that engine compartment. It's degrading to still have a prop rod.

Go for the Mach1 instead..More reliable and HP is best handling Mustang by far that I’ve ever had and actually rivals the handling of my old viper

What road did you run Azusa or Los Angeles crest ?

No check engine code with cats removed, or does it need a cat delete plug in?

Needs 3:73 gears or 4:10 gears

Thats not the 101st abn. They all worw the eagle on the left side

March 2022 6 months before my warranty ran out I asked ford if I can have a new engine for my 2017 GT350. Mine had 7K on it. They said yes. I said it goes to storage Nov 1. They said ok then installed the brand new GT350R 2022 build motor in the spring. Now I have 9K on it, 2K on the new engine. Now I can boost it no problem. I tried like hell to get them to let me keep the oem engine for when I sell the car in 30 yrs. They tried but ford said no you can’t keep a voodoo engine. Sad😢

You really gotta watch what you buy and you gotta know what you’re buying and you gotta know who owned it prior to. That’s the hard part you wanna make sure you don’t buy a tracked car specially at 350 otherwise they’re beautiful cars.

Would a tune void the ext. warranty?? Glad you’re back.

I just moved on to a Mach 1 largely because of the engine. It’s greatest assets is it’s bigger curse.

Had my gen 1 for 7 years. Zero oil consumption in 25K miles, but only 8 track days so far. (I'm busy).

I've been wanting to convert to E85 for a while now, but experiences like this have always kept me from pulling the trigger. That and the fact that I'm short on funds these days. lol

lund tune and be done

I have a gen 2 long block based on the date stamped on the head in dec 2021. It replaced a gen 1. They took the gen 1 covers off with builder’s signature plate and put it on the gen 2. So there are still two signatures

I've had my gen 1 since new, 7 years and 25K miles with no issues or oil consumption. I beat the crap out of it, change the Amsoil every 5K.

It’s over and done with now but there is no way in hell you should’ve spent any money to replace the clutch in that POS car. It’s obvious the previous owner beat the shit out of it and dumped it because of all the issues. Thank God you got the extended the warranty.

Looks sick with the wing.

A beautiful car with a wonderful engine. Just horribly unreliable

Gen 1 voodoo here with 53,000 miles also on E85 and intake with no issues and I beat on it. But I actually know how to take care of it😂

just picked up a gen 1 R with a whipple ....pray for me lol

Can some one tell confirm the LT4 ZL1 is more reliable than these? Maybe the oil pressure pump but i never hear so many bad things like the voodoo

These engines are honestly a hit or miss. Also, depends on how you drive and beat your motor. I have a gen 1 2018 with 46k miles , multiple track days. My homie has a 2019 GT350R Gen 2 vodoo, less than 20k miles. His motor recently took a dumb cylinder 8 and 6 no compression.

Headers n e85 will wake the car up so much u might not even want to boost it😂

The amount of gt350s that went lemon vastly contrast against the total amount of people who have 70kmiles gt350/R’s. It is a thing but it only a huge notice because nobody buys these cars unless they have money and know what a GT350 means. Its not a GT500 or GT, it isnt anything else ford has. .. its a great platform but due to its greatness, its flaws were very apparent.

any drone?

Hate to see it

I wish we had E85 available. Only one station in a 50 miles radius.

I’ve also got a 2017 as well with no issues at 21k miles. 🤞🏽. AMSOIL kit is $140, and easy to do yourself!

We have a 2017. No oil consumption lucky maybe. Fingers crossed. Loved your content , good info.

One of the main reasons I haven’t pulled the trigger on a GT350. I know they are great but my luck would be a lemon. For every no problems, triple nothing but problems.

My Gen2 is predator block.

I hope an extended warranty is in place. I must say Gen 2 is solid as fuck.

If anyone has a gen 1 voodoo and it’s eating ANY oil at all. It will slowly get worse in time and it needs to be replaced with a g2. Some do and done don’t. Not all gen 1s are bad. Just passed my 2nd year with my gen 2 and can confidently say not a drop of oil eaten. Such a relief !

Awesomeness 😊

Ethanol can be made from algae, but Brazil uses sugar cane and corn. If they're using any algae (seaweed) to make ethanol it's very small, to the point that you shouldn't have even said what you said. Using the Owensboro E85 video was great. This video hasn't received the viewership it deserves. Regarding "negatives," there are none. The energy content issue is a canard. BTUs are irrelevant, engine optimization is the key. Engines optimized to run on ethanol will provide equal or better MPG than the comparable engines optimized to run on gasoline. Even gasoline optimized engines running on blends between E30 and E50 will provide equal of better MPG than just E0 or E10. Availability isn't really a negative of the fuel, it's an annoyance that's caused by politicians who should have long ago mandated ubiquitous ethanol availability. If you are somewhere where you can't find E85, you simply use E0 or E10. Ethanol does not attract water, it absorbs a small amount of water that it comes in contact with. The water forms because of natural condensation. The exact same amount of water will form if you only have gasoline in the tank, and the gasoline will not absorb the water, which causes problems. Ethanol's hygroscopic characteristics are a benefit, not a negative. Cold starting is not a problem because there's enough gasoline in E85 to start the engine. If the climate is so cold that the gasoline portion of E85 will not start the car, then you would have the same problem starting a gasoline-powered engine. In extremely cold climates, heaters are installed in peoples' garages to keep the engines warmish, or the engines don't get turned off. Remember that diesel engines also have cold starting problems. For many years an electric wire was used to heat and warm the diesel fuel by pushing a button. In modern cars it is a part of the regular starting process. If ethanol above E85 was ubiquitous, auto manufacturers would equip their vehicles in the same manner. All spark-ignited internal combustion engines can run of ethanol, regardless of year or manufacture, if the engine is not a flex fuel engine, you may not want to fill your tank completely. But you can still safely and effectively use the mid-range blends I mentioned earlier (E30 to E50). This saves money on the E85 gallons that you use, and lessens the harmful emissions of gasoline.

How many miles did it have when you purchased it?

Is it to loud I’m debating getting a cat delete but I have a mbrp street cat back

My 350 would consume exactly 1 quart of oil approximately every thousand miles, some thing I had to keep an eye on. Continue to check the oil consumption with your new engine and best of luck. I’ve come to the conclusion that some oil consumption is normal with these engines And just needs to be monitored and maintain

2017 GT350 Gen 1 owner here. First off, I'm sorry you have had to deal with so many issues but, as you have ponted it out it was most likely due to the previous owner mistreating the car and not maintaining it properly. The good news is, you'll most likely get a new block from Ford and once it is installed (along with new clutch) you wil be able to enjoy this amazing vehicle like you should have been able to do from the start. These cars are phenomenoal machines but they need to be taken care of (getting the oil up to proper temps before you rtev it out and checking the oil level dilligently). Mine has 23k and runs strong with no oil consumption. Will my !st gen VooDoo last? Can't know for sure, but then again nothing is guaranteed in life. I am cognizant of the possibility that it may granade itself at some point, but that still doesn't stop me from driving and revving this thing to 8250rpm. I have thought about replacing this car with something else but, honestly no other car in this price bracket gives you the visceral experience that GT350 does. I hope your journey will have a happy ending. Get an extended warranty from Ford along with the new engine and enjoy driving it. Cheers

After watching your earlier vid regarding the vibration issues, I was going to say you’re lucky if that’s the worst issue. Sadly, what has become a bigger issue for you is the fear with the GT350. I owned a Gen 1 from new for 3 years. The flat plane crank is the reason we buy it - and it’s the reason we sell it. It’s a fun car to drive - but only when you rev high. Sadly it’s not a car to keep for the long haul unless you don’t mind dealing with inevitable issues. Ford didn’t quite get this motor right. Time and failed motors have proven this. Enjoy it for a while, and then move on. Good luck.

will ford put in a gen 2 motor at no additional cost?
