[QUOTE="Venomous 03, post: 14976786, member: 121670"] You can order a flat plane crank from Bryant,Scat,Kellogg ETC for the 4.6.You can make any engine FPC.I know because i was so close to going that route. You would need different cams with a different firing order and a custom special damper to accomodate for the 2nd order harmonics that come when you put a FPC in a v8(balance shafts are used in some apps.) I couldnt find anyone to make me the damper so i decided to not go that route.plus all that money (around 4k) with minimal performance gains. If you want the sound just get 180 degree headers. The thing is,the bigger the stroke,theres more harmonics that come.thats why smaller displacement 4 cylinders dont use balance shafts and bigger ones do. Why do you think everyone is questioning fords new 5.2 liter? No balance shafts.just a special damper. Ferrari has been in the FPC game far longer than Ford,and theyve never brought out a big stroke v8. Maybe Ford found a solution for the hamonics. [/QUOTE]
