Budget 408 Build

Thanks rumblefish, the assembly I have has been internally balanced just not with the damper and flywheel. If I use a neutral damper and fly wheel will I still need to have a machinist go over it again? I've put 318,000 miles on the external balanced 360, I'm sure this 408 has to be better than a factory balance? I'm way over budget on this thing and need to save for a tune still.

If it's a stick, there is no way I would balance it without the disc, flywheel and pressure plate.

You'd be surprised how far off a disc can be. Every time you bolt something on, it can and will change the balance job even if it's a zero balance deal. The only exception is some dampeners can be bolted on and not balanced as long as they are internally balanced to start with.
