Milano Drive Shaft Assembly Question

hello, as i seem to have a perpetual milano engine installation project, i've been thinking about the infamous driveshaft assembly.

so here's my question: i realize that the shaft is balanced and therefore marked every bolt, washer, nut, and mounting point. but the problem is that i'm putting in a completely different engine with a different engine flywheel. so are there any issues with the engine flywheel not balancing up with the front flex mount? i'm guessing not but if the balance is as critical as a single washer then what the hell do i know? any expert driveshaft knowledge appreciated.

No issue, you are fine - drive shaft is balanced independetly from engine.

cool, thanks, one less thing to worry about. i ought to have this car back together & running anytime now . . . .

ha, ha, it's only been 2 years now but in my defense it's all due to not enough money.
