internal balanced motor w/ external converter

does anyone know if having an externally balanced torque converter (welded on weights) will affect an internally balanced motor in any way?

if so, can i just grind off the weights and call it a day?

As far as I know Ford never used weight on a convertor......They have always used weights in the Flex Plate and / Or Balancer.

Are you shure you have a Ford Convertor? Is it Aftermarket?

well every rotating part must be balanced when manufactured. What you are seeing might just be the weights getting the TC to perfactly balanced.

that makes sense.

i guess i'll find out if the motor vibrates at all.
