Unfortunately I don't have the old steel flywheel to match balance against. I have the the engine buildsheets showing which flywheel was originally there, but they alos state that the rotating assembly was balanced. Who knows what was done to the flywheel.

The pressure plate bolts are new ARP bolts with a shank. However, there was a small problem with 3 of the bolt holes in the pressureplate being slightly larger than the other 3. The other 3 had a tight fit. Only that particular bolt pattern fitted the McLeod pressureplate (which is std ford I think)-

I think I'll pull the transaxle first and send the flywheel/pressureplate out to check for balance. Maybe it's way off the 28.8 oz it's supposed to be.

If that's ok, I guess I'll have to pull the engine, take it apart and have the entire rotating assemble balanced.

Damn!
