There are many aftermarket dampers available. |

Lots of times, aftermarket dampers don't have timing marks which match the pionter on your timing cover, but that's a minor issue.
I haven't really studied aftermarket dampers much, though others have posted a bunch of info on the popular options.
If your stock 1969 damper looks good, and since you're not building what looks like a 6000+ RPM terror, I'm not so sure you need to pounce on a performance damper right away. If you had a 1967-earlier 390 I would suggest a change, but the 1968-later damper does provide some good damping - though it'd be insufficient for sustained romps above 6000RPM.
I don't have any details on racing dampers, but you might try the "search" button (keywords: damper or balancer or harmonic) in this forum to find some alternative brands, and the stories which are attached to them.
It sounds like it's gonna be a fun ride when you get through with it.
