What are my options (harmonic balancer)

Correct. You don't want the inertia ring removed. Then it's not a vibration damper anymore. How small do you need it to be? You've never eluded to that.
I am hoping to reduce 3/4 to 1 inch off diameter .

Damper that fit 440 engine will fit a slant six. So a "aftermarket" damper with a smaller diameter should work. There would be no belt groove, and the distance from the front of the engine is different.
Thank you, this gives me something to research further. At least there are aftermarket option as it's a v8.

More to come.
