Have they tried to order those parts emergency? Ford is showing they are releasing them but only on emergency orders.

can you pull those off the og engine?

So really dumb question, but why cant something like a bolt or emissions tube be reused from the original engine. I assume Ford wants it crated back to them intact?

I have since confirmed that the parts are on the emergency list. Still waiting however

Dealership said that the entire lot of replacement parts will be brand new.

Not sure. But the dealership has to follow the Ford rulebook.

The bolts are probably torque-to-yield, so they can only be used once.
The gasket is a metal crush gasket for the turbo and can't be reused.
The emissions tube is plastic and probably got broken during inspection/removal.

I'm not sure what that means.

Normally, the engine is supplied as a bare long block (heads and block only). Sometimes you'll get a sealed long block that has all the pans, covers, and intake installed, it depends on the manufacturer. Everything else from the original engine is swapped over. But, I can't speak for the Bronco engines specifically.
Only once did I see a complete running new factory engine installed and that was a Porsche theft recovery where the engine was stolen out of a new car.

Would be cool to get a photo of the new motor as delivered to the dealer to see how complete it arrives.

Did you get her back? Mine blew yesterday and I’m working through the 12 stages. I’m hoping good news from you let’s me “stay pumped” as I wait, again, to have my Bronco.

Yep. I've got her back now.

It took about 8 weeks for the whole process.

Good luck man!!!
