Gollum Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Soo this is new news.. http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=763 GT350 will be 5.4L NA V8 with a Ferrari-style-flat-plane crankshaft. Rev over 7000rpm and close to 600hp Thank you for the update!!! I have a feeling this would be the case when Ford stressed the new GT350 would be NA. Everyone knew they'd be down on power but I had a feeling they might just go this radical with the "modern" look coming out that's supposed to be placing the mustang firmly in the future mindedness, instead of being "stuck in the past" as some of the current branding had caused. This is certainly a step forward to making the statement "dedicated to engineering" that seems to be Ford's big push lately. I approve! And best of all, I bet there will be crate motors available from ford racing under $10k, which is less than any custom crank I've seen....

HowlerMonkey Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I wonder if the aftermarket crank and cam suppliers are gearing up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall280ZX Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well the flat plane Ford is official for the 2015 GT350. Order a crate engine and throw some headers on it and it would sound incredible. That would be an awesome swap into a Z. Is there any progress on your custom one, BRAAAAP?

JMortensen Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Here is the link to the new Shelby GT350 Mustang w/single plane crank and 8200 rpm redline. Sounds pretty sweet, too bad they only let you hear it right at the end. https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/listen-to-the-roar-of-ford-s-new-shelby-gt350-flat-plane-crank-v-8-191953660.html Edited November 18, 2014 by JMortensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHorizonZX Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'm SO glad that I'm not the only dude who thought about this thread recently. The Ford flat plane crank is going to set the world on fire.... it's awesome. So who's already planning a build with one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicamarvin Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) I really dont like the sound of the car, I think for tricked the exhaust as to sound less european and more american here is the video of the sound Edited April 19, 2015 by nicamarvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpndave Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I am. Probably will do a Coyote now and then swap in the Voodoo when available. Changed my T56 magnum to the Ford version. I think it will sound much better with the right exhaust. They appear to have "Americanized" the sound to not lose traditional mustang customers with the GT350. The GT350R, sans resonators sounds better. Aside from the exhaust, firing order and center crank pins are different But it still has the alternating bank flat plane.
