Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeKinda made me think, in terms of Ford first/Chevy first sort of thing. This year Ford's hottest Mustang variant has a 'flat' crankshaft, which means each bank of the V8 fires as though it were a 4 cylinder, very unlike virtually all 90 degree V8s of the world (excepting a few specially built racing engines & a few Ferraris). Supposed to be lighter/faster reving and be more ideal for dual turbochargers since the exhaust pulses per bank are evenly spaced, whereas the conventional V8 pulses per bank are uneven. The interesting part: Looking at the 1917 links that someone posted above, that old Chevy V8 appears to be a "flat" crank design, since the per bank firing is evenly spaced at 180 intervals. 2015-1917 = 98 years before the new flat crank Mustang! :) Actually not exactly a technology leap, but more likely some thinking along the lines of building a V8 by putting two four's together. Interesting to think about anyway.
