It certainly is a very interesting motor.

Time will tell if vibrations are a serious issue or not.

Its good that the factory crank is forged, hopefully it will be enough to handle ridiculous power as aftermarket cranks won't be very common for the small market, I would love to see someone swap out to low compression pistons and bolt on a massive twin screw and see what the thing does at 8k rpm.

That's a beastly motor. Flat plane crank motors are known for high revving and staying together

Imagine two Honda 4 cylinder vtec motors molded together and this is what you get. 4 cylinder motors are 180 degree, so when two pistons are up all the way, the other two are down all the way

Now apply that to the 5.2 ford flat plane and its amazing!

Just watch the vids on YouTube and listen to that motor, sounds completely different than the coyote motor

Only the Voodoo V8 sounds SO MUCH BETTER

8200+ RPM and it sounds calmer than an old pushrod 5.0L at 6,200 rpm!

Some say it sounds like the Bullitt car Steve McQueen would be proud

$50k, decent credit, nothing down = ~$750/mo

I'd finance $30k of it for ~$500/mo and sleep at night.
