zz4 shortblock swap

Im planning on swapping in a zz4 short block and was wondering if i have to get it balanced or what. I have heard that they do not come balanced.

an assembled short block would be balanced, however if you took it apart and sent the rotaing assembly out you could get it balanced closer than it is from the factory.

Do you think that would be worth it? I plan on putting a LPE 219 cam so i will probably see limited time +6000 rpm
