Thanks for all the suggestions! I reached out to Christian at Ford of Upland and he's working on a solution for me. Great and knowledegeable guy that is definitely here to help the Mustang community. Restoring my faith in Ford dealers!

Good tip on calling Ford. I've had such bad experiences with customer service these days that I assumed I'd be told "too bad", but I should at least make the call and see. I did speak to my dealer yesterday but they just started talking about cost to replace the motor. I'll try Ford today.

A few more photos.

Thank you! I'm waiting to see just how bad the damage is and whether or not the block is intact. Still too early to tell.

Valves and springs on the driver side bank successfully relocated themselves into the oil pan. Other parts have joined them. Warranty expired less than two months ago and now I’m faced with the dilemma of replacing my motor out of pocket.A new voodoo is just too expensive, so I’m thinking...
