[DeTomaso] NPC: Bronco Alternatives...

[Thomas Tornblom]

4 cylinder inline engines have a flat plane cranks. I assume they would 
have made special cranks for these engines. Using a 90-degree crank 
would cause heavy vibrations I assume.

Perhaps such a crank could be machined for a V8 with even firing order?
