@jmardy The transmission was removed from the Pantera and, as we surmised, the wrong flywheel was installed. The miscommunication came about when the engine builder contacted Centerforce for the flywheel. As I understand it, Centerforce was told what exact engine was in the car, but also was told what the car was and the fine folks at Centerforce sent part number 700250-48, which has a 28-oz imbalance. In short, Centerforce provided a flywheel for a Pantera, not for the Ford Boss 427F engine that's actually in the car and this detail was missed during assembly.

To correct the problem, the flywheel and the entire McLeod RXT clutch have been sent over to Kroyer Racing Engines here in Las Vegas where they are going to balance the entire assembly to neutral. I'm not being charged for this, obviously. Once it's back, we'll reassemble the drivetrain and inspect everything again, change the oil and inspect what comes out for anything out of the ordinary, test the car and then we're off to chassis dyno for final tuning and adjustments.
