a 180 degree V8 = an even-fire V8 w/ flat-plane crank. It has nothing to do with valve centerline angle.
The first step of becoming a better driver is to attend a track event, time yourself, and realize the fact you really suck.

I'd start with some of the various crank houses- Callies, HTC, LA, etc.

I think a 180 degree crank is suposed to make our motors think they are two hooked together two Iron Duke 4-bangers! Just race stuff if not mistaken.

How about an all aluminum, 15 degree headed, small block for about $3500?

I believe he's speaking of the LS1 and related engines. Originally Posted by Kenova

........just can't get used to these new fangled Gen III's. Been playing with the old small blocks for so long, I think my vision has narrowed 
. The more I learn about them, the more I want one though. Anybody willing to give away a nice little Vega so I can stuff a Gen III in it? 
Yeah yeah, I know.......

180 deg SBC
I talked to Crower about it years ago for a twin turbo motor. They said they had built a couple motors with 180 degree cranks, but they vibraded so bad they gave up. The idea was, in a turbo application it would smooth out the exhaust pulses. It just didn't work.
