This is probably going to be a dumb question but I have a 2009 Mazda b4000 and the engine is junk so I went out and bought a new used engine from a 2006 Ford Ranger it’s the same engine with the same vin code..What I’m wondering is can I bolt the new engine to the original transmission that was in the truck without having to worry about any balancing issues ? I was told to mark the bolt on the torque converter and the hole on the fly wheel so when I bolt them back together they would be balanced but because I’m not putting the original engine back in how do I know if they are going to be balanced right..lol I know in my mind it shouldn’t matter as long as the engine and transmission are made to bolt together but want to make sure before putting it together..Thanks
