Don't take that the wrong way, no trying to discourage anyone. When it comes don't the the "bang for the buck" factor, it is not as good as other platforms. I still wouldn't trade my ole 7.3 for anything else, because when it comes down to reliability, simplicity, and durability (within reason
 ) no other can even compare IMOH.

They don't balance to "RPM", but they are balancing it to +- 1 gram.
The motor will be getting the Fluidampr Balancer. IMHO the Fluidampr is a superior design, a little heavy but no rubber to wear out compared to the ATI.

This is true of ANY service no matter how good or bad the people are. Any time you have to rely on someone else to get anything done, you're going to be disappointed.
Unfortunately, there are things that not everyone is capable of doing themselves so the problem is experienced by everyone at some point or another.

I've been down that road many times myself with engine/machine shops.
So I know what you're going through! At least they aren't swapping parts on you like they used to try and do when I'd rebuild a cheby motor! That one shop use to try and swap my 4 bolt main blocks for 2 bolt ones. Oh no you don't! I said. I told them everything is stamped to match and if I didn't get the right parts I was going to bill'm for a HO crate motor. I built A LOT of 383 strokers for kids back then. That allowed me the extra cash to play with my Dodge blocks. Dang those 340's were expensive to work on and beef up. Ok enough of my engine/machine shop experiences and back to Dave's fabulous build!
