[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 3536630, member: 11681"] I believe when all is said and done we will find that the cranks in the GT500 and the 05/06 Ford GT are in fact NOT identicle. I believe the differences are the following... A Ford GT has no flat machined in the crank snout for the normal oil pump drive. In addition to the absence of the drive flat, at the first "step" there is a "fillet" added to enhance the snout's strength. On the GT500 crank the flat would have to be there... since we know they are not doing a dry sump oiling system on them. If the "fillet" is added to the GT500 cranks.. who knows??? Other than that yes I would say they are the same material and most likely the exact same forging, but with slightly different machining than the Ford GT. Making them possibly identicle to the original parent engines they came from... Forged steel truck cranks. [/QUOTE]
