I think I have seen similar setups and they look really BA but I don't think I have the room to add another foot and a half to the front of my engine. What about front balancers for this thing? would it be worth my time to find one that can be made to fit or use a stock/ reproduction one?

I have to say thank you to everyone for input and ideas. Just a few days ago I started this post and we are at like 50 posts now and two pages. I never would have though this many people not only would be interested but encouraging about my decent into madness lol.
