Flat-plane Crankshaft for Cobra Engine
HI All,
So... the new Ford GT350 has been recently advertised with much press and attention. Among the obligatory technical upgrades is the continual mention of an anticipated Flat-plane Crankshaft V8 engine. Quite a bit of the reference is to the sound the engine will make, and the potential for a higher rev limit.
I'm wondering, does anyone use a Flat-plane crankshaft in the cobra? I'm really curious to know what this would sound like. Most of the auto OEMs have such engineered exhaust sounds (Ford to Ferrari) that sometimes it's a bit difficult to anticipate what this would sound like with our large and unfiltered side pipes.
If anyone has video, media, or otherwise even a confirmation that this is their setup I would be very thankful to see this (even a link to another posting). I'm thinking of specing out another SB stroker engine for this spring and this is my first consideration for such.
Thanks!
