flex plate question

is the flexplate for a 300 balanced, or come in different weights like some of the other engines?

I have a 300 out of a manual trans truck and I want to install an AOD behind it for my truck.

I see flexplates advertised for ~$30.00 - $40.00 but before I buy the wrong one I thought I would ask.

TIA,

Mark

300 uses a flexplate specific to the 300 (neutral balance). a 302/351w wont work.
