I have a set of their lower arms and they are nicely made.
It would make no sense if they weren't compatible w/existing parts.

If you look @ the lower a-arm attachment points, there are 2 slots on each side for the lowers. Using the inner slots would reduce track width. Using the outers would increase it. Not saying it's a significant amount but some of the aftermarket lower arms are available 'narrowed' to help put things where you want.

I see the 2 position options as a decent idea to help dial in track width & also for tweaking alignment:

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Ah, Yer right. Good eye.
I'd really like to see how the column shaft works out. That always seems to be a crutch on these conversions; The U-joints all operating at max angles.

They have an install vid up :
