Mostly correct, but the 2.5L and 3.0L do have different cranks. Yes, same stroke but a 2.5L piston is 296 grams and a 3.0L piston is 348 grams, thus requiring the crank balance to be different. Hence totally different parts, part #'s and applications.


It is the exact same forging and the response was to the strength of the crank be it 2.5L or 3L. (which has supported over 1200HP btw)

The 3L has heavier counterbalancing. (which I have stated on numerous occasions to the point of even recommending it)
The balancing process (adding & removing weight) is done "after" forging.

Hence the exact same part to begin with, buy yes a different part number & applications. All of which I have stated before.


So what exactly was your point?
