Okay, this will be a stupid question, but they're ready to balance my rotating assembly and need the other parts to do it.
What exactly do they need? I am thinking flywheel, harmonic balancer, and torque converter. Anything else? Do they need the torque converter.
I could ask them. But, it sounds like a pretty stupid question and I don't want to sound like a noob. I've done a lot on cars. but, this will be the first time I've ever dealt with rebuilding the bottom end.

They've already got the block and all of the internals. So, I guess that just means the flywheel and balancer.

It wouldn't hurt to have the crank pulley balanced as well.

I have to check and see exactly what came with my engine. (I'm not even sure I have the balancer!) Some of the front of the engine was missing since the guy was replacing the camshaft when he got called to Iraq.
