Given the great skills demonstrated thus far, I am very eager to get the details on how you approach this. I would imagine that you'll take special pains to maintain the wheel center line as well as assure yourself that these new wheels can be properly aligned.
Although a good number of CV swaps have been documented here and elsewhere, I am still unclear as to the best way to mount the trailing link bracket (fab a new one or mod the old one) and what should be done with the old radius arm bracket and crossmember (just remove or also try to dupe its frame stiffening function).

It looks like some parts of the IFS have been replaced with new parts (e.g springs) but what isn't evident is whether and how different they might be from stock. What was stock (police/taxi model or passenger car) and how do these new springs differ from what they replaced? Any other new parts?
Interesting how you built up the thickness of the frame top rail. This is markedly different from what others have done in this area. Do the spacer tubes go through the frame or are they butt welded to the inner frame walls? Did they come from the donor vehicle, Ford parts or were they fabricated?
I'm keen to learn the thinking behind your approach, especially where it differs from what others have done. There's always more than one good way to skin a cat.
