If Ford wants to put a warranty on a blower car, it's gotta be built to take it. The only warranty on a Roush car is the blower itself, 36 months.

What trans fluid do you use in your 3650?

dex 3 conventional from Napa. I have tried royal purple before I knew it was bad (have changed blocker rings since then, observed no damage,) and synchromesh.

Anything more than the $2 dex 3 is a waste of money. I plan on changing the oil every 15k miles or so. Did you know good transmissions used sealed bearings to keep the oil out? Debris from blockers and face teeth is bad for roller elements. This is why you change. If you are road racing temps may get high enough to deteriorate oil, but in that case coolers are required and you'll also be changing the oil a lot.

Ford did put a full manufactures warranty on 3 blower cars. The 2005-06 Ford GT, 2007-14 Shelby GT500 and current 2020 Shelby GT500. The Ford factory warranty on the Roush cars are also fully retained, providing the the vehicle was originally purchased thru a Ford dealership. Also note, that if a supercharger like from Ford Racing is both purchased and installed by an authorized Ford dealer? the Ford factory warranty also remains fully intact as well.

I have seen this as well. I see Facebook ads for beechmont Ford in Ohio that supercharge the gt’ sand f150’s and retain the 36k mile warranty

Yeah, your right, I totally forgot about the 2003-04 SVT Cobra lol. Meanwhile, thanks for refreshing my memory

The car has 100k miles, but the engine was rebuilt 15k miles ago...

Based on the prior responses, I've decided to still do a cheap build because I like the vert, and I'll get something newer/nicer after I settle on my house later this year.

With that said, I just added an XTD Stage 2 Clutch kit and lightweight flywheel. Just finished breaking it in (about 500miles) and it feels great for now.

Next I'll do the cams, and boost after that... Stay tuned.

Tune up & oil change. Also fixed a coolant leak and installed a GT500 style front lip and support rods today... I was about to install hood pins, but it started raining. Can't wait until I move next month so I can have a garage.

Look out for those parking blocks and curbs. I got one of these. They really work. Easy to install and saved my chin spoiler more than once.

Good tip, I'll look into getting one... As for park blocks, I only ever back in b/c I'm used to driving lowered cars (m3, rx7, etc).
