    Default vs flywheel balancing

    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 mirror balanced. Should only be about $50. The numbnuts who did my conversion years back didnt balance it, the vibes are terrible!
    Hit me up with some reputation points if i've helped you out! (Star in the bottom left!) Cheers!

    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 ?
