have it done locally so he knows that it is correct.



And again I'll ask ... what ensures the local guy is correct ?? If its wrong, are you going to bad mouth him on here - where nobody has heard of him or gives a damn? And would he care? If your motor blows will he repair or replace it or blame it on you for any number of reasons?

If you bought an assembly from Ray Barton, Muscle Motors, or any other Mopar specialist, would you decline balancing in order to have it done locally by some yokel that builds 20 chevys or fords to every Mopar that comes through the door ?!?!? 440Source ONLY do big block Mopars and they do them in-house. To me, that's worth something. Sorry, "local" is no guaranty of quality !!
