so i got a used engine to put in my bird, the used one has the old style balancer with big rubber nasty-ness on it, and the engine in my car does not, it has the later style. i would like to keep the later style, what would that involve?
what is a case relearn??
would the different balancer from a different engine throw off the harmonics?
Did you read this thread at all? :twak:

As long as the case relearn is done on it to let the pcm know what firing order the crankshaft is firing for the new balancer it will be fine,
I'd just like to through in a cautionary note. I'm not sure about the 3.8, but many rotating assemblies are balanced using the harmonic balancer.
Some high performance balancers require your engine to be balanced with the stock damper
so...the first quote says i can put whatever balancer i want...the second quote says that i will need to balance my new one for the existing rotating mass....i read the post

Dealership or someone with HPtuners. Dealer would charge around $75 or more to do it I would think. I would call and ask before hand or call around to local trust worthy mechanics and see what they charge.
