So what is the motor craft plug number and which heads do you have again?

I’m not sure of the number. I have GT40 heads (not the P heads).

Alrighty, I can confirm a new PCM solved all my issues. Crazy how that works.. Anyways, only things I have left are an exhaust leak I’m trying to fix and with these aftermarket headers, that’s proving to be a pita. I do have an oil leak inbetween the pan and the transmission. It’s very steady, and it’s keeping me from driving the car. Sound like a rear main? It isn’t an obvious pan leak, it looks more like it’s coming from directly inbetween.

Here’s a photo for reference. This leak really only drips when the car is running, and it is really bad. Leaves a puddle every time. This is right between the oil pan and the flex plate

Rear main or possibly leakage from the flywheel bolts, my money is on the seal.
just a guess though

That’s where I’m putting my money aswell. Gonna get it pulled this weekend. Final piece of the puzzle and it’ll officially be fixed and ready to drive after 2.5 long years

that sentence was all wrong, here, let me correct it..... "that will officially be fixed and ready to drive till the next thing breaks"........
You're welcome.

We are going to pretend that this autocross event I plan on attending will not cause any issues to the car my wallet needs to enjoy fantasy land for a little bit

Check the back of the lower intake and make sure its not leaking there and running down the back of the block. Not super likely and my bet would also be on the rear main.
