Interesting.
To that point, the teaser video of the 500 did sound quite...Voodoo like. :shrug: But since it's just a teaser video, take my pondering and it with a half grain of salt. Recycled content visually or audibly is more than plausible to project something that doesn't even exist yet.
The snout was indeed a concern for 5.4/5.8 GT500 owners due to undercut fillets. I have little doubt the same issue could be replicated with a Coyote crank whether cross or flat by subjecting it to extreme stress. This is why fully filleted aftermarket cranks are a great choice when doing an all out build. Sadly, they are also ridiculously expensive.
All modular motors have no fillet radius on the crank journals or the crank snout area, in regards to a higher possibility of crank failure in a cross plane crank application would be mostly due to a harmonic issue.
Sorry I just realized I said cross plane crank when I meant to say flat plat crank that is used in the Voodoo engine, however IMO Ford stated not to put forced induction on the FPC motor period. If the new GT 500 comes out with a FPC and a supercharger then I would say it's safe to do if it comes out with a cross plane crank then there must be an engineering reason for it.
How many miles have you put on the TT setup?
Never seen anything from an actual source other than “i heard” or “my buddy said”
