If you're looking for just the block, it's part #FR3Z-6010. Most dealers will show it around 825 + shipping/tax. You'll need to order the 2 dowel pins for the timing guides and two oil galley plugs, one front one rear.
Edit: actually South Florida Ford Parts (TMO vendor) has it for 781.

Great news and I had wondered if you had chatted with the Dealer. I know some of the Engineers at Ford , as well as old friends who were with SRT/Viper suggested a moderate break in with an oil change around 500 -750 miles. In other words no full throttle, reasonable revs are okay and you do not have to baby the motor. You will note that many new high performance vehicles actually suggest 1000-1500 miles before full throttle and an oil change at least by then. Good luck and great news and your thoughts on break in are spot on in my estimation.
