raised spendle around 1.5 to 2 inches (lower front of car same amount)
1/4 inch taller (better camber curve)Uupper ball joint pushed back 1/4 inch (better clearnce of inside of tyre)
Lower ball joint push out 1/4 inch (compensate for mod in UBJ and keep KPI inline
Improved steering arm (where the outer tie rod bolts to the spendle) for better Ackerman and less bumb steer.
Strong enough to take to the track and not have to worry about it.
If your friend could make these and sell them around $400, I would buy them. Good luck
It's still happening. One of 6 projects competing for time and money.

thanks for the update Dennis. care to share the other projects?
Reproduction of 65-66 KH front disc brake system:
Shields, calipers, brackets, hoses are being modeled. I am not impressed with the SSBC reproduction. Mine will be more dimensionally faithful to the original.
Are you staying with the 65-66 port size I would think the 67 size would be a better choice?
Is there a way to adapt the KH system to the 70 size spendle I woudl prefer a drop spendle with the KH 4 piston caliper. Just a thought this might be something you could intergrate while you are working up the molds .

I should have said 65-67 KH system. The caliper will have a 3/8 input thread.
Making the KH system work on the 70-73 drum spindle (or drop spindle) would require at least a new rotor. I'm not sure there would be enough demand to justify the rotor stocking order. Thanks.
I'm quite (but not 100%) sure that the 65-67 rotor fits the 70-73 spindle if you use the 70-73 wheel bearings. They have the same OD. Only the ID is different. I once did the opposite: for a mock up of a project i was working on, I installed Granada rotors on 65 spindles, using 65 wheel bearings.

Right you are. I just fit a 65-67 rotor to a 70 type drum spindle by using a 70 type inner bearing. Of course, the 65-67 bracket fits, so the 4 pot caliper and its shield should fit as well.
I'm not sure many will want to use the early model 4 piston caliper on 68-73 cars, but choice is good, and I appreciate the advice and suggestions.
