I'm not being critical, but it seems to me you're making this way more complex and expensive than it has to be.. Dimple the frame for a power steering box. Use a '71 - '72 or '73 - '80 something front crossmember. Include in the "salvage yard grab" all the steering linkage, control arms, springs, spindles, rotors, and calipers.. No fabricating, no spacers, or adaptors needed for anything. Everything is bolt-on and parts are available at most auto parts stores.
