I do not understand why some of you guys make it seem more dificult IE telling him to take flex plate and converter to shop to be balanced, totally not neccessary, that is why B&M came out with the flexplates that have a big section missing, to acomidate the external balanced 360.

The reason some of us said to get the B&M flex plate and take it to the shop is because in his original post he said he was getting his engine balanced. The balancing shop needs all rotating parts to balance it. Yes he could take them a converter with a weight on it but is their a guarantee that the weight is correct? What if someone welded it on improperly? Then his whole rotating assy. is out of balance. Thus the reason to get it balanced with the new B&M plate.
