as the Rouge says, pay to have it done right. They probably don't balance it because of all the combinations that someone can come up with. Think of engine balancing as you do tires only with pieces of metal around the edge. then make them all weight the same and rotate it. you have to have everything working just right or you get vibration that will beat up the bottom end. What neck of the woods do you live in, someone might know of a good shop near you.
: As you all suggested, I’m thinking on buying the 302 à 347 stroker kit, but all the shops that sell it said that it is not balanced.
: Ok, what is a balance engine ? please be as explicit as possible.
: Thanks
: Norvak,
: BTW some of you might remember I was looking for some Comet tail lights, I’ve got them, I went to a swapmeet here in Mexico and they there ware, one EXCELENT complete set.
