The key here is the cause. Was it something as "simple" as a valve spring (as was a case with 02 LS6), or was it an internal component? Was it related to manufacturing, or assembly process? Etc. Vintage, if yours is indeed the first failure: have patience as GM has to figure it out and that takes time. BUT, they should be treating ya with golden gloves regarding client satisfaction. NB when that guy's GT350 erupted in flames while ON TRACK, Ford (apparently) replaced it with a new GT350R. Not a bad outcome....
Ford has been very good about fixing Boss 302s and GT350s as long as they are not heavily modified. This crap about a catch can voiding the 1LE warranty...WTF? If you look at the Boss 302 forums, the Boss RoadRunner 5.0 is very reliable, but a few have blown. Ford worked with people who even had headers, CAI, etc. They did push back on a lot of regular Coyote 5.0s in GTs, but the Boss was built for the track, so track blow ups were covered. I would hope GM takes the same attitude toward the 1LE.
