A conversation with a Ford engineer who helped develop the modular motor was had, and here's what he said about the stress added to crank snouts by removing the caged pulley system. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"I would pattern it after the 03\/04 and GT500 damper support system. That would separate the FEAD drive from the blower drive. The Ford crankshaft nose is really too small a diameter to support any weight. As a result, the crank nose just breaks off, a support mounted to the front cover will keep the crank in the correct position and eliminate any side loading. I would also use a ARP stud in-leu of a bolt to retain the damper. I also don't understand why people double key the crank. A key is used for positional location NOT load carrying.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS SUPPORT IS ONLY TO BE USED WITH ATI BALANCER (918037)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDOES WORK WITH ALL LFP \/ METCO QUICK CHANGE RINGS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GAPerformance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56216298651814,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/6849\/8086\/files\/d814bb31-564d-42ff-a381-a63fa380fe58.jpg?v=1771938770","url":"https:\/\/gaperformancellc.com\/products\/5-4l-2v-triton-billet-crank-support","provider":"GAPERFORMANCE LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
