Sorry for the lack of an introduction!
I have been rebuilding a 67 Pontiac Beaumont (Very similar to a Chevelle but the Beaumont is Canadian made by Pontiac using a GM drivetrain.) I started restoring my car to near factory condition....however, after a very cooled winter and a cracked engine block my 67 Beaumont went from factory to full custom. This is my first build so please take it easy on me!!
Once I figured out the block was cracked I began looking for a power train to build my project around. My love was a GM 572 but I just couldn't afford an engine like that. I wanted an engine that I could easily add to if the need ever arose for more power. Well my search ended when I located a complete power train from a Dodge viper. That's right...a V10 viper. As if this idea wasn't far fetched enough. I built a Twin Turbo V10 witch should provide about 1000 RWHP! I've been working on the project for the past few years and have decided to expand my network of forums to help answer some burning questions.
Take a look at my photos and let me know what you think. I have also been posting my progress on the Chevelle forum.

The current issue I am trying to resolve deals with designing a center link/ drag link with a 3" drop center to clear my oil pan. If you have any pointers to help me design one like material to use. For example which rod ends, size of rod ends, load capacity. Functionality that should be incorporated like bump steer adjustments. Any help would be appreciated!
