Thinking about a Mustang II front setup

[memphisrain]

Hi all, I've been doing a bunch of research and planning on my project (69 C/10) and I was considering a MII front end install for several reasons.

First, I have one laying around that I can use.

Second, I want to eventually have the thing lay frame, but do it a little bit at a time, as money becomes available, and while still being able to drive in between. By the time I purchase springs, spindles, brakes, etc, I"m going to have a significant investment, and still not be as low as I want.

Third, I want to center the front wheels in the wheel-wells. The wheels being rearward throws these trucks off visually for me.

Fourth, the rack and pinion upgrade will help me reach my goal of a nice cruiser with the ability to carve corners relatively well.

Fifth, I simply can't justify the expense for the porterbuilt unit when I've got these parts laying around. Yeah, in a perfect world, I'd just order one up, but it isn't going to happen.

Anyways, these are my thoughts, what say ye? I haven't found anyway to update the steering in these while keeping the stock setup, is there somethinh I've missed? I've searched the site and not too much info is around, I suppose because it isn't really a popular swap.
