Get the FW checked at a hot rod speed shop that understands how to match balance.

Some on here say they are neutral balanced, but it`s a crap shoot.

make sure you mark the auto FW and crank before you remove it so you have a reference point. It should be marked, but make sure. then when the manual FW is matched, just line up the marks.

My front dropped 1 1/4 to 1 1/2, forget which now with the 240 springs.
when I did my swap, I pulled the eng and trans as a unit. did the swap with everything right in front of me. then scrubbed and polished the eng compartment.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
