Got it...I figured lighter parts all around played the most important role....So in the end..less is more.

I'm surprised there isn't more conversation about the thread in the general forumns about the camo GT350 with different exhaust. I know allot of folks think it is a eco4 or eco6, but to me is sounds like a FPC v8. Just like the rumors predicted.
No not necessarily, but it does seem to me that it is GT350 related and since this is the voodoo thread and the engine in that thread ( to my ears anyway ) sounds like a FPC V8 that it would of been on the radar of watchers of this thread.Why would the conversation need to be in two threads at the same time? Are you saying they should be merged?

holy shit at that signature! off topic post but deserved!Agree.... and nice resume![]()

LoL....yes, the great unanswered question :frusty:Now if only it had had either FPC or CPC next to it![]()
You are confusing a Flat Plane Crank engine with a Horizontally Opposed (Flat) engine as used by VW, Subaru, Porsche etc. They are not the same, with the FPC retaining the traditional V Formation..With a FPC wouldn't Ford be able to have either the Coyote or the Trinity platform sit lower under hood? Thus allowing for better clearance to meet the UK requirements for a pedestrian crumple zone and allow them to get back on track for either adding a Supercharger or a Turbocharger setup for a Mach1 or GT500 edition vehicle?
Just my thinking ..or perhaps over thinking. But, if the Flat plane crank is used then the need for a large crankcase would not be needed since the counter weighted crankshaft isn't necessary.
How exactly does Ferrari or Jaguar address this configuration with regards to vibration?
Then there are the vital & equally frustrating questions of HP @ RPM, Tq @ RPM, Redline RPM.LoL....yes, the great unanswered question :frusty:
At least the Cats tail seems to be out of the bag !This was posted on another forum, from some kind of supplier database system.
5.2L V8....SVT S550
Usual grain of salt disclaimers apply, but some other interesting stuff in there too.
I doubt it's sleeved, it probably uses PTWAAt least the Cats tail seems to be out of the bag !
That would seem to fit, as 5.2 L is apparently the Max the Coyote can be safely Bored (re sleeved) to.
