Not the first time Ive seen that happen. Probably quite a bit of work involved in your particular case. I would be tempted to try & fit an oversize sleeve in the correct spot once you enlarge the now elongated area, but its your call. Have done a similar trick with Holden six cyl flywheel onto SBF crank. It just happens that they have same bolt pattern, but 'offset' bolt is in wrong direction for the Ford. Motor must be internally balanced? or the balance guy would have spotted it--- seem to remember pics of your build @ KC.
