59 corvette build.

Hi guys first up just would like to say hi from down under and was hoping to get to know a few members and get some ideas.

I have out my hand up to help a mate that has a 59 corvette and has been given the run around something silly and led up the wrong path. First I need some advice on front suspension and control arm setup I was hoping that someone done a tubular conversion to Blount to the original cross member as he has already purchased an ididit rack and pinion steering kit. Secondly any tips on a late model LS1 conversion engine mounts etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
