The identical part numbers on the 350/250 has been told to me to be an "internet myth" by both service managers at two local Ford dealerships at a social function during the Fall. An engineer for the Eco Boost who frequents another car forum also relayed info supposedly from another Ford engineer stating that is the case too. Also, relayed to me by the Service Manager is the 4" blocks need to be ordered via VIN. I do not know if that is a nationwide policy or just regional. And as stated by both the engineer and service managers, is the "sticker is the sticker"
That's very special that you've been told this. I've actually taken the time to do it. It's very easy on any online Ford dealer website. For the 30 minutes it took me to do it, I am now sure and you, on the other hand, aren't. So, instead of listening to what they told you, do your own homework. As to the blocks, I personally have done it to my past 250 as have has countless informed owners on the many Ford forums out there. So, instead of posting your misinformed info, try doing your own research and stop debating someone who has already has. It's not hard, you'll know for sure, and won't have to say you're sorry again on a forum for being wrong.
PS: If you really think I'm wrong, I'm a betting man and would challenge you to find one different part between the two. A paypal payment amount of your choice is waiting for you when you show me a difference. So, let's clear this up. What part(s) exactly do you and your engineer and dealer service managers say are different? I'll look them up and post the part numbers in 5 minutes. I'm waiting....
