Any donor front end is going to be a compromise and will probably need some modification to make it usable. My Car has Jag front end components but the mounting points for the arms are different to the Jag cross member and it uses a Commodore rack. Even as the kit is delivered it still needs some tweaking to dial out the bump steer etc. It's still far from perfect and I'm planning tweaks and mods in the future.
I think adjustablity is key. That's part of what I've tried to achieve on the home made rear end. You may not be able to get the setup perfect out of the box but if you can dial it in after you've welded everything up then your going to have a better chance of finishing up with a setup that works well.

Mike ,
I understand what the Question was,...
I was purely saying that it's not an option previously used or discussed here and maybe as in your case the components can be used and applied in the same way as your jag has been...then maybe replaced down the track with a fabricated tubular A arm and being the nutty professor you are .......I thought you would have some form of Qualified input as have
...
Stan good on you for thinking outside of the box here it will be an interesting exercise to follow if you do use it!!
And as you've said the braking upgrade is a positive...good luck!!!
