All engines are balanced at the Factory and we are talking a new block
here with installed crank etc. "Balancing and blue-printing" are useless
unless you are a racer and even then...
There is no crankshaft doing to do. The crankshaft pulley spacer
(approximately 7/8 inch brings the pulley out to realign it with the
water pump and alternator. There is no space issue for you and I have
worked with your car. A TVR engine bay is huge compared with I have to
deal with. grin)
