Fluidamper and which pullies?

I'd like to put a Fluidamper harmonic balancer on my 427. Will this affect the alignment of my pullies for the water pump and alternator? I'm going for a stock look, so aftermarket March or similar pullies would not be my first choice. What pullies do I need to line up with the new balancer?

if you use the Fluidamper harmonic balancer you will need to have your motor rebalanced. i put one on mine and they had to add 19grams to my crank

I don't understand, the 427 is balanced internally, if done properly, as long as you harmonic balancer has zero balance it should be fine. Correct me If I am wrong but the Fluidamper is actually designed for the 385 engine, it has to be machined to go on an FE, correct?

I decided to go with the original balancer. Now I'm looking for the correct timing pointer which is missing. Thanks dragon462 and 82acautocraft for the replies.
