[QUOTE="Dan Schoneck, post: 10629448, member: 50689"] I would call out there and talk to Chris. Tell him i sent ya. I really think its important to have two keys or a key and a roll pin. Especially if your going to be running alot of boost. Also its cheaper now than later down the road to replace the crank and hub on balencer when it wrecks. Here is the Problem with the factory key way. It starts in the middle of the crank and is only a half moon. Then the keyway wings out over the crank to make it extend all the way to the ends of the crank. There is really no support in this area and being the factory crank snout is only a 1'' long for the balncer to ride on. There is only really good keyway support for about 1/2 of an inch. If I use a factory crank again I will cut the key way the length of the crank and then add a second key way. Also I see your still using the Gt500 factory lower gear and cam gears. This is also a bad idea as the crank gear is very small and they do break. (ASK SHELBy MARK) The Cobra Jets now use navi stuff which is the same as the ford GT supercar stuff. Ford used the smaller stuff on the gt500 engines so the valve covers would clear the frame rail when setting the motor in. All you gotta do with the Ford GT supercar valve covers/bigger timing gears is remove the sway bar and push the motor alittle more forward towards the radiator as the motor goes in and its all good.
