you can take it to your local high performance shop and have them take care
of it... It also depends on wether the motor is balanced internally or
externally. take a look at the flywheel on the "new" 318 and look for
counterweights. If you spot some, then you'll need to take it to someone
who builds engines and have your new flexplate balanced. If there are none,
and the motor is internally balanced, you're good to go with the
flywheel/flexplate swap. Wasn't sure on that one, had to call the speed
shop...

hey, ever notice that you can justfiy the purchase of $5,000 heads, intake,
headers, and exhaust...but not the purchase of a $10 t-shirt or food? weird
huh?
