Big White Cobra is right. The only Numbers to match on a ford are the Date numbers. And its a legitimate reason to have an engine replaced.
WOuld you rather hear that knock, or drive your car in peace and be happy with it. As for the value, it shouldnt go down at all. Just document it and inform the next buyer why the motor had to be replaced.
Now, Value on older cars like classics and antiques, Having a date coded this and that make a diffrence, but not on a new car.
