  Long ago I had the rotating assembly of my 302 engine balanced... crank, 
pistons, rods, OEM dampener and a flexplate for a C4 trans.  I assembled the 
engine but havent run it yet. After that, I changed my mind and got a T5 and a 
new aluminum flywheel.  I'm now buying a new Fluidampr harmonic dampener (the 
OEM rubber is over 30 yrs old), and I'm wondering:  Do I need to take it all 
apart and have it all balanced again?  I will disassemble and reassemble anyhow 
before firing this summer to be sure assembly lube is OK, but I dont want to 
waste $450 for balancing, etc. if I dont need that.
  I asked on the list for a recommendation for a Clevaland Ohio shop who does 
good, accurate work but got no replies.  I've found a place in our Yellow 
Pages who seems expensive and I dont know about their reputation.  Can anyone 
help here?
