vs flywheel balancing

[ashzv6]

hi,
so im doing a manual conversion on a vs v6 ecotec very soon,
Can get a vp v6 flywheel, am aware they are balanced differently.
Is it essential to get the flywheel balanced to the driveplate?
or can i get away without?

thanks guys

get it balanced or it will vibrate pretty bad not really good for the engine being so far out of balance

Get it mirror balanced. Should only be about $50. The numbnuts who did my conversion years back didnt balance it, the vibes are terrible!

So is it only the vn ones that are 6 bolt ? I thought it was most of the buicks were 6 and only some real late ones had the 8 bolt ?

Only the VN Series 1 use the 6 bolts, Series II (or VP) Onwards are all 8 bolt
