engine externally balanced?

I have a 330 ft with an np435 trans, i am told the 330 is externally balanced and i am installing a c6 trans from a 75 pickup which had a 360 fe.Is the 360 internally balanced?
what needs to be done to make this swap work correctly?

the 360 is internally balanced i think the 330 is external in which case the whole engine would need to be torn down and balanced at a machine shop about 350.00

well your best bet would be to just put in a 360 fe engine or any other fe engine and you would get some more pulling power and its a direct bolt in sell the 330 and buy a 360 or 390

external balance

Old, yeah, your FT is externally balanced. You will need to have a flexplate setup by welding a counter weight to it. You might also need to trim the register that the pilot bearing fits into- is the crank in that engine forged or cast ? Its a do-able thing, but really, why do you want a C6. They are sturdy, but they are also a sponge. By that I mean they soak up horsepower. Why not keep the NP435 ? DF, @ his Dad's house
