OK so!

I looked at the door tag on the drivers side and it says the build date was 12/99

The sticker on the RH side of the engine says Ford Windsor LVL Ont Canada 4-28-00 46L

Does it really take 4 months to get the engine in the car????????? Or was it replaced! UGH

i thought it would tell me the plant your engine came from. guess not.

yes it will take about 4 months to get the engine in the car. the only warranty repair you had was 00s37 (parking brake recall)
