     No one is going to be able to provide any really relevant predictions as to when you might get your flywheel, but if you actually ordered it from Ford Performance Inc. (previously Ford Racing, Ford Motorsport, etc. who's parent company is Ford Motor Co.) and they indicated that they had the inventory, then generally you can count on: "it's in the mail".  But you might have paid more than you had to if you bought direct, as for example we sell (as do many) for far less than the List Price.    ;)

     But perhaps you ordered from Ford Racing Parts "Direct", who is not F-O-R-D, but rather just wants to look like it, well there's no telling.   ::)

     I'm guessing you didn't order a flywheel for an FE?  as the latter doesn't even list the Ford Performance M-6375-N427 wheel on their web-site?    ???   But it is available "In-Stock" with Ford Performance, Inc., as with us anyway.

Looks like I could get two of the M-6375-N427 flywheels right now.
Cant say the same for a lot of other parts - like Edelbrock heads or intakes...

Not to be discouraging, but lead times on various race type parts are all over the place.  I'm on 4th month waiting on a Milodon 351W dragster style oil pan.

  Manufacturing companies are REALLY having issues right now. Some are "essential" and can work at full capacity like where I work. Others have to work "by the rules" which cripples production. My delivery times have increased by 50% simply because we are overwhelmed with orders and "rush" orders pushing standard orders back even further.Good luck with Edelbrock as they in the moving process and all messed up.

I don’t know about your rush customers Rusty but I think a 3 week (in my case) turnaround is pretty damn good.
