Spinning inside the block is a steel crankshaft forged in America by Krupp Gerlach Company. Employing the same advanced methods used to create the steel cranks of the SVT Mustang Cobra and SVT Contour, this forged piece was a necessary component in the creation of such a potent engine. Six crankshaft counterweights contribute to the engine's smooth revving characteristics from idle to redline.
The SVT does have a fully counter weighted forged crankshaft does it not?
EDIT: From another article:
Forged Steel Crankshaft
The Duratec features a forged steel crankshaft. After the crankshaft is forged, machined, and balanced, its bearing journals are induction hardened, a process that super-hardens the steel to a depth of 1.5-2.0mm. As proven in the Duratec and other Ford engines that employ induction-hardening technology, wear in the journals of these engines after years of use can be virtually imperceptible.
Two counterweights are placed opposite every throw of the crankshaft, contributing to the engine�s exceptionally smooth revving characteristics from idle to redline. To enable this engine to gather revs especially quickly, the SVT Contour employs a nodular iron flywheel that is lightened by 2.0 lbs. compared to that of the Contour SE.
