Ok, this arrived today. Its a balljoint end for nascar, Moog part #ES2848LT
I got this idea off the web. What it allows me to do, is use it on the trackbar,
instead of the heim joint. That way I don't have to drill out the stock trackbar bracket
that heim was a little sloppy anyway. (got it on fleabay)
Recently dressed up the valve cover:

Update:
I just installed this
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-17463/
The price was right.
Bolted right in, gonna weld it later.
It sounds great, and is very quiet!
