Damnit!!! Some days, it does not pay to own this car.....

Got it back together last night, and took it for a spin. Installed a used 3550 and had my header fixed. Right awy, I notice, that the vibration is still there! I mean, mother ******, I have replaced everything!!! So if that is not the worst, the "new" tranny has issue going from 3 back into 2. I bought this thing with the knowledge that it will need a rebuild here soon, but I did not think right away!!

So, I call the engine builder (Fox Lake) and ask him, what is up? This thing has vibrated since day one. I told him all the stuff I replaced and what I had done. Well, he suggest I check the ignition, and make sure that is all good. Other than that, I would have to pull the motor and have him inspect it . Well, Shit.... He calls me back in 10 minutes and says, I think we found your problem. The build sheet says this was built for a 28 oz balance. Why is this so important, because stock Mustang use 50 oz balance shit!!!!!!!!!! So, him being true to his word, I am sending him my Flywheel and my Romac balancer. He is redooing the flywheel to make it a 28 oz, and he has a Romac 28 oz in his shop. He is doing this for free. He agrees, the motor was supposed to be a 50 oz, but I will have to check my paperwork. If mine says 28oz, then I should have said something when I picked it up. I have nothing but good things to say about Ron and Fox Lake, they have helped my and my friends a lot more than he has too. I am just glad that we found out what the problem was. There could still be engine damage, but we are going to do things one step at a time. Shitty, part is, I have to pull the tranny again, right after, I just got it in!! Guess this is a good time to put a good quality clutch in, I was going to use this hybrid setup I had, but I think I might just get a complete new setup from here: http://www.modularmustangracing.com/
