From what I’ve researched it appears Im going to need a 30” column and 3 joints to get the proper angles. Also some guys mention an idler bearing as well. Im running a Pb drop member with LS and Holley manifolds
Any thoughts.?

Thank you in advance ..

The 'idler' bearing is required when more than 2-joints are used. Without it, the shafts will not be held to a specific path since the joints can flex in their rotation.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
