Default Bad vibration

Vibrates in neutral and when driving. Leaning towards the fly wheel out of bakance. is this unusual in a new clutch assembly? Have to mail it back to the States as no one can do it here. I miss America!!
Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice.

If it vibrates while sitting still and bringing up the rpm's, then it is either a out of balance flywheel or a bad harmonic balancer on the front of the crank.
Clutches are all zero balanced so that should be ruled out.
Typically, the 5.0 motors are 50oz counter balanced but you stated that the motor was balanced and blue printed. Did they have the flywheel and clutch installed when they balanced the rotating assembly? If not, that is likely the culprit.

Remember, it is almost impossible for anyone, myself included, to diagnose a problem over the internet without seeing the car. My advice is simply that, advice based on years of experience. I don't want you or anyone taking my word as gospel. I am trying to give some direction as to what I think may be happening.
