OR do you have access to a machine ... like the new tire balancing machines... to show how much to take off where... to get what you are looking for ?
Most of us can not find a mechanic we can afford AND TRUST just to do regular stuff on our cars.... So I still say it is best to do whatever is necessary to find the 300 flywheel to start off with.... then try ... perhaps with trial and error ( pull manual trans and try different flywheel location )... to get rid of any vibrations which might be present...

Its a common machine shop job. You provide them with two flywheels and they can match balance them on machines. Ive paid between 30 and 150 bucks for the procedure depending on regional location.
The 38lb flywheel off a 300d is not a bolt on answer. You still have to match balance that. Any shop than can do a neutral balance can do a match balance
