Check out Mars Metals. They made the original keels.

BTW My boat came like that, and a deal i could not nor would nor refuse. 
Cruising the pamlico and neuse river dont allow for much more draft, and I  
have already dabbed a few times but its just mush.
Very glad I was able to find this boat locally and have a C  to sail in a 
land of Catalina, Benys and  Island Packets
Now its time to finish the punchlist and  be first over the line, as she has 
done in the past :)

be tender and frequently wonder if a deeper keel would beneficial.

If you insist on proceeding then I would make sure that to modify to the 
largest torpedo bulb possible and draft to 6 or 6.5 feet.

Hi Noah,

We bought our 37/40 in Ontario back in 2010 and sailed it down the St.
Lawrence to Cape Breton Island where we live.  We have the 8' 2" Deep Fin
Keel, same as yours.  We had zero issues with this depth of keel, anywhere
we went on that trip and only occasionally since.  Where are you going to
use the boat that you need to shorten the keel?  Just curious.

I'm quite please with the deep keel actually, I'm glad we held out for one
when we were searching for a boat.

By the way, your boat has had a few different names over the years,
including: 'Painkiller Two', 'Hippy Chick', and 'Lake Effect'.  I prefer  '
Assailant'.
