why would you go through all of that work and still keep any factory suspension components??? to pull this off successfully, you need to first build your cage inside of the car and make some support braces to go through the firewall into the engine bay, then cut off the portion of the frame rails you no longer need, weld in plates to box it in, and weld in your front end tubes...this is not for the faint of heart since it take a good bit of math to figure out all of the new geometry of the front end

I dont get people who plan to do these crazy advanced projects and yet they ask the most basic questions that anyone competent enough to do the project should already know. I get that everyone starts somewhere but seriously man, this is one of those times when if you have to ask, you really shouldnt be attempting this at all. Not to mention the fact that you say you want to use factory components on a tube front end. Polishing a turd does not make it a diamond... Its still a turd..
