Replacement engine-Which heads did I get?
My truck is a '99 which from what I have gathered is the 4 thread in the spark plugs. The engine was replaced with a long block in Oct. of '02. Is there a way to tell what I have without pulling a plug out.

Harry, now you know why I've never spefically stated when (or if) the PI heads got the increased thread count.
I know my 2001 V10, manufactured in 9/2000, has the 7-8 threads. I looked
Without pulling a plug and checking with an inspection mirror, who knows?
Those PI heads you have in your gallery, any part #'s on them we can use to research this a little bit?

They thought they would have it finished late this evening. When I pick it up, I will get the part number that was ordered.

They finished the head installation yesterday morning but I was out of town and could not pick it up until this morning. Seems to run good.
Part numbers for the 2V full thread heads are FD2C3Z/6049/AA and /CA. I cannot tell anyone how to identify the full thread heads without pulling a plug unless the modifying numbers beside the PI designation are the key.
The Dealership did exactly as promised, warrentied everything except the drivers side head and serpentine belt, which I asked to be replaced.
I don't know what all the codes( bill, program, UDB repair, claim, concern...) mean. Perhaps there is some key in there as to why Ford paid this claim on a 78,297 mile vehicle without extended warrenty. They certainly offered no explanation to me, but I am still happy.

Interesting that they warranteed most of it.
I wonder if it's another "program" like what covered the cracked intake on my '96 t-bird 4.6L at 4 years old (past 3-year/36K warranty.
Post EVERYTHING on that work order
