Hello fellow wingnuts, I am planning on using the Ford V10 in an airplane and was wondering what you might know about the later ones with three valve heads, (2005 and later). The main reason, is to get something other than a V8 sound. It has several things going for it, aluminum heads, high power, and high torque numbers. And, there are millions of them in use, so parts should be relatively inexpensive. The question I have not been able to get answered is what about the balance shaft?? Can the right engine run backwards?? I know this is done in Boat racing with the Big Ford and Chev V8s, and the only difference is the cam and the spark timing, and the oiling system. Any Ideas?? Thanks, Don
