Looking for 360 advice on a budget.

hi guys been reading this thread with interest as it mirrors my build,
with my 69cc heads my measured commpresion worked out in the region of 7.66-1 ordered some 30 over kb107s and should end up around 9.2-1,
just a newbie question but if i get my motor balanced does that mean i can run my original 904 box without having to get a balanced converter or flex plate

Welcome, this site has been priceless to me and my build thus far. I'm new as well.

I recently had my 360 assy balanced.
They wanted to know my intended tranny....I chose 904.
I took a new b&m flex plate to my balance shop with the norm (new pistons, rods, crank, new harmonic balancer...think thats it. (fyi, I could have bought an sfi rated balancer for just 30.00 more. Live and learn.)

After balance is complete I was told by my shop that since I now have a balanced assembly I am to use a neutral balanced convertor when the time comes.

As usual, other more experienced builders on the site can probably help you even more....just my 2 cents.
