Kenyon, OK, shoot me now, but I'm going to make an oil pan suggestion. If it were mine, I would clearance the pan so the center link would clear. Notch the section of the pan that is interfering and weld in a section of tubing, like some exhaust pipe that was sliced length wise to fill in the void. Blast the pan and paint it to hide the modifications. Or maybe use a repro Hemi pan. (I deserve a shot for that last one). I'll give the modified center link/pitman arm/idler arm ideas some more thought and check with some of my suspension gurus. There are many angles changing there that will effect your steering geometry. Not necessarily in a good way.
