When I am under the other Corona tomorrow I'll have a much closer look at the way it all mounts up.

Not much to it really - the steering box mounts to the chassis rail with 3 bolts and the idler arm bolts up on the opposite chassis rail with 2 bolts.
You would remove those items and use the bolt holes to bolt in a custom crossmember. You would need to make the crossmember with your engine of choice in position (I presume something with a J or U) so as to determine clearances.
When you eventually go looking for the magical rack, make sure you bring some Mk2 steering arms (they bolt on to the stub axle and connect to the outer tie rod end) so you can check the rod end tapers and make sure they fit. You can do some mixing and matching provided the threads match.
