Any dramas with fitting 1jz gte into MS65 crown?

I am able to get an automatic 1972 ms65 crown for next to nothing (most likely around $100, as it is unregoed and needs a few minor suspension fixes and a window regulator).
I was wondering if anyone has done a 1jzgte conversion into this car and found any major difficulties such as turbos fouling on the steering box.
I am planning on getting an auto half cut as it is a bit cheaper but I have read in other threads that due to having an ECU controlling the box, things like not having the abs or traction control fitted causes the gearbox to make *unopportune* shifts. Is this easy to remedy or is it not a problem with the 1jz? (as the car having problems was a 1UZ conversion).
If anyone knows of anybody that has performed this conversion could you possibly give me their contact details? Or a link to any information on their car.

Can only comment on a 1JZGTE in an MX13 Corona Mk2 (very similar engine bay c/w MS65) and the rear turbo fouled the steering box.

How did you get around this? Change the manifold? Or was there a modification that you did to the steering box?
Got any pictures that could show what you did?

It wasn't my car but the plan was to go to big single or do a rack and pinion conversion. Neither option is cheap. Unfortunately the project stalled and was never completed. PM or email '7M Brisbane' - he was the guy doing it.
Another option might be to make a new manifold for the rear three cylinders to reposition the rear turbo. You'll have to make a new collector pipe for the two turbos, but you'd want to do that anyway if you wanted to run more boost.
I wouldn't let a shitty little thing like that stop you. Buy the halfcut and get to it. 
Ideally you will need a JZS131 true mid sump, but you can easily modify a rear sump from a Soarer to work.
As for the auto, I think the Soarer has the auto control and the engine control all in one ECU so this will facilitate things for you with regard to shift patterns etc. Don't take my word on this - research it a bit before you buy.
However, this would indicate that this is in fact the case. Wiring diagram is courtesy of www.sixworks.com.au.

Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately I am not going to be able to buy the car anyway. I have too many space restrictions (due to being my parents house with way to many cars already - wish I lived on an acreage  )
