Seeing what you did using the stock front suspension is great intel for our project as we were looking into using a Heidt's setup.
Heidt's would be the way to go (IMHO). I did all this with raw steel stock, probably took me close to 120 hours+. I wished I had the resources at the time to use a pre-fab'd set-up.
In regards to your 2.3 - it just so happens I have a turbo intake taking up space in my attic. I can't remember if it's for a 2.0 liter or 2.3, but is set up for a garret T-3 and a Holley 2 bbl. lemme know if you're interested.
Would love to see some pix of the '59 Hillman. - that thing should be cool.
