Thanks, man!Nice upgrades and one of my favorite color combinations. Glad the TMO community can help you with your GT 350 and thanks for posting your build thread. It is so interesting to see what Mustang owners are doing to their cars in all parts of the World!
If it were me, I wouldn't touch the flywheel (or balancer, engine mounts, trans mount, or oil pan) while you're still FPC. It'll vibrate itself apartPretty stocked on that weight, possible to drop a lot from the titanium exhaust and lighter flywheel.
Huge thanks for an input! I'm a bit in a vacuum right here with that car, so few things fly higher than my knowledge. Didn't know about flywheel, only about engine mounts and trans mount.If it were me, I wouldn't touch the flywheel (or balancer, engine mounts, trans mount, or oil pan) while you're still FPC.

I broke both the FP350S oil pan pickup tube mount and the GT500 one - both from the vibrations of the FPC. I seriously wouldn't touch anything to do with the motor. And once warranty is up, swap in a cross plane. I tried EVERYTHING to make this engine work in FPC and it just won't last moving away from the OEM parts - and even those parts only extend life IMHO. I know a few lucky people - but I know more with issues than not.Huge thanks for an input! I'm a bit in a vacuum right here with that car, so few things fly higher than my knowledge.

Flywheel is definitely not for this year.
But what about oil pan? I ordered GT500 oil pan and oil pump, as in my understanding it would improve cooling a bit and less oil-suffering in corners.
Am I wrong and it would bring some issues to FPC? I'm not planning to go CPC due to my love for the engine character haha
Ruining my dreams! Hahaha. Now I'm not that sure about oil pan...I broke both the FP350S oil pan pickup tube mount and the GT500 one - both from the vibrations of the FPC.

So i got the standard 5.0 with cross plane, what pan should i put in the GT500 or the FP350S one? since you had them both and seen them both perform some what, which one is a better pan for doing track work?I broke both the FP350S oil pan pickup tube mount and the GT500 one - both from the vibrations of the FPC.

Sorry to hear about the engine. What happened? Is the block ruined?Sooo
Engine got completely destroyed about 1.5 month ago
Trans cracked as well
4000 track kilometers
19000 kilometers overall
Getting me headache to think what I should do next with a car
Either buy stock engine and trans and sell it
Or order build engine, but than I would probably lost more money on selling it; or keep the car with me to the USA, which would cost quite a lot of money...
I believe there are several factors.Sorry to hear about the engine. What happened? Is the block ruined?
I don't think warranty is working outside the US, haha. And I'm the second owner, first owner drive car for 72 km before it got sold.OH Boy!!!!!....Maxim, I don't think the warranty will help you much at this point, But I could be wrong here.....you might go that route just to see if that's a possibilty. I understand money will be a big issue here getting you back to where you want to be.Man, this is a bad mess for sure....I wish you the best outcome possible...............I hope it's back in a Mustang.................One last thought....Hard to understand how the MGW shifter got involved with this mega failure......................that's usually a promo upgrade??????????
Prob would sell a car, shipping it out of the country would be quite pricey, leaving it - quite stupid.Now maybe a good time to source a cross plane crank version of a 5.2.
