amc49, it's a 60 degree V. Regardless, the balance shaft is a weak point on these engines – the bearings give out. So I guess I'd better take the balance issue seriously. (Besides, I went to the expense of getting the engine balanced, so...)
Ford made at least two V4s, the Essex and the Taunus. That's the Taunus that Srt posted. It's 2/3rds of the 2.8L V6 Cologne.
