Don't get to excited about the 'new' ford flat plane crank, its a heavy beast and has the pistons on each bank one up one down along each bank. looks like they need a lot of weight to keep the vibes in check. Has effectively two counterweights for each rod journal/crankpin which is as much if not more than a conventional 90° crank.
