To balance a fluidampner equipped crankshaft, you remove the outer ring from the dampner and balance it (crank) with just the inner hub. When done, reinstall the silicone containing ring onto the hub. That is if the balancer has the counterweighted hub, it sounds like to Ford 429/460 fluidampner is neutral in balance, and it's hub is too. So you need to get the crank internally balanced, which costs an arm and a leg.
