I need three switched hot under the hood. Two ten amp and one twenty amp. Anything under there that might work?

I guess that would work. I was hoping something existing would work. Basicly out of lazyness.

If you think about it in accessories it helps, most likely something tapped of the ignition circuits and as Rasta pointed out useing relays will actually be easier and a better solution for you, particulary if you use a bladed fuse relay, nice and compact.
Personally with my engine swap I took the chance to rewire the car with a modern setup.
You can go the universal "painless" setup or do what i did and get a combination mini relay / mini fuse board. They give you 12 fuse and 2 relays on this type, the mounting board also accomodated a section for the normal relays (wiper, flasher,headlights,window)
Go to mouser.com

I would particularly encourage the use of relays, since the stock electrical system is in fact kinda weak... better to add new circuits for new loads than lean on ones already marginal...

Relays it is. I would actually love to rewire the whole car but is not in the budget or time window for this project.
