Haha. It was a pretty funny request.
Gonna attempt to have this stuff balanced but am striking out all over. The assembly and machine work is all true but its still a small concern of mine.

Ryan, I was just talking the other day to my machinist guy who will help me do the weighing and balancing my rotating assembly parts and got off topic a bit. No one local can spin balance your flexplate adapter and whatnot? My machinist says he does it all the time. Does balancing of flywheels for John deere when the local assembly plant by us has a vibration. They give him the flywheel or other related parts and he finds that they are out of balance from whoever the manufacturer of them are. Or guys who take a auto trans out and put a manual in and all of a sudden develop a vibration they never had. He takes the flywheel and checks the balance. Then bolts up the clutch and pressure plate and checks balance again. I'm across Lake Michigan from you though so not helping much lol.

Big problem is there is no hole through the center of these pieces so that is the issue. I have it covered though. Were making a "crankshaft" and using a hub to bolt up the pieces I need balanced. Basically balancing a lower end in a way.

Might be calling you tomorrow Nathannial haha. Seems somewhat straight forward now that I have schematics but with sand drags next weekend I'm trying to plan ahead so everything goes quick and smooth.

Trans is in. Most of it wired. Linkage and some wiring is left. Then tuning time.

Awesome Nathannial. Thank you. I think Craig's sending me one, possibly Mike Haller as well. I'll def call Idaho Rob up as I dont know who or what the other guy is. Can't hurt to have a few files to start with. Especially with the drags in 3 days LOL
