true...too much plastic, plumbing, wiring, etc... can't even see the block, unless you get under the truck..but they still could atleast spray a cheap coat of grey, or black on it...unless they left it plain for cooling reasons or something?

That expression "On a clear night you can hear a chevy rusting" may not be so true anymore...
I do remember Ford Blue Blocks when I used to mess around with late 1980s - 1990s mustangs.

Just a update. 37 days and ford still can't seem to get all the parts needed to start putting the motor back together! Seems pretty pathetic that they sent a short block instead of a long block witch I kinda excepted but wasn't happy with and the dealer has had it for at least 3 weeks now waiting for the rest of the parts. And nothing against the dealer mechanics today but I think they are expecting a lot from someone that has to call a hotline before they can do anything, they are really parts changers and that's what the mfg want! Anyway hope the finished product is as good as new
