Ya huh, SBF HB's are built the same as SBC HB's. Sort of like the rest of the engine

We've been down this road before, the LS is more similar to a SBF than a SBC is. A ford balancer has the weights on the inner portion of the balancer. So removing the weight at the elastomter would still have the weight in the same sport.

Its a chunk of steel, it is a big weight. Removing the ring gets rid of the outer weight, SBF or SBC.

Moreover, the point of a harmonic dampener is to have weight past the isolating rubber. To absorb. Therefore it must have weight past the rubber ring.

OK so it turns it into a non harmonic balancer. There still weight towards the center portion of the weigh under the isolator. So it still wouldn't be a neutral balance, look close and see. I could remove it and it would still be off balance

Nah, outer ring isnt balanced to counter the inner ring. Especially not on a neutral balanced HB

Are you drunk? You said all I had to do was remove the outer weight and I'd have a neutral balance dampener. Can't do that because the counter weight is on the inside.
