[QUOTE="Svtmustang01, post: 14975360, member: 134669"] Even if you could Im not for sure you would want one. As of right now im not convinced on a flat plane crank. There is a reason why all american v8s have the cross plane with counterweights. These v8s have all proven to be reliable. Now go into exotics, they use flat plane cranks. All of their v8s are in the 4.x litre range and dont have the reliability like the american v8s. These motors sacrifice reliability for performance gains. Flat plane cranks do not have these counterweights which allows more vibration (not good). More rpms, inertia(higher displacement in the 350r than the exotics that have been using flat plane crank for years), and vibration dont really go together. Lets just say the ls1 has been known for reliability and good power. Ferrari doesnt have the same public opinion of reliability but they do make great power. [/QUOTE]
