I never did it before putting my FE in the Cobra. But, it costs next to nothing when you have the pressure plate and flywheel sitting on the table and, sure enough, my Centerforce PP required a small bit of metal to be welded on at a certain spot. Even though my block started out life as an externally balanced 428, the rebuild with the SCAT crankshaft resulted in an internal balancing, so the flywheel was neutral. I don't know how you'd take an externally balanced flywheel and pressure plate to the machine shop for balancing -- you probably wouldn't.
