Brent,
I am outside of Fresno Ca, I appreciate your offer but found the a flywheel at McLeod this morning that matches what is in the car, they are in California so I should have it by Wednesday AM. I started at 4:30 AM and had the flywheel out by 7:30 worst part was getting the starter out with those #16
oil lines in the way. It seems the $#@@#$ zerk fitting unscrewed from the Ford throwout bearing and destroyed the flywheel spokes and even part of the starter mounting flange, it looks like somebody shot it with a 10 gauge using double 00 buckshot, hard to believe it could do that much damage. I am sure this is not the source of the vibration as Jason stated. I have looked at all the mounts involved and can find nothing broken or damaged in any way, I lifted the car using the front of the rear end cradle mount and it might have shifted up .060
All the U-joints also look and feel good. I am going to take my sun stretched Goodyears to have them rebalanced today and re-phase the left half shaft to match the right half shaft. I will also start at 26 and 25 PSI and increase the high speed bump in the rear, beyond that I don't know what to do other than pray and keep my foot out of it. I'll use the time I am waiting for the flywheel to do a thorough nut and bolt plus move my brake bias adjuster and radiator catch bottle (I had interference with both during the test).
Thanks to everyone for your input, this forum is a great source of knowledge.
If I find anything else I will post it but do not expect to.
