 Front suspension Conversion!! MkI Supra to MkIV - ideas?

Hey all!
I know there are both big brains and big egos in this forum, so I'll pick one and pick on the other lol.
I run my MkI Celica Supra, MA47, 5ME (getting boosted) A40D trans, F303 LSD, 4 disks, and an attitude.
But it's not tunable enough, suspension wise!
I'm looking to upgrade the front suspension design to reflect the 20 years of engineering that have happened from inception to the present, and the best I can find is the MkIV Supra!
However, the problems represented here include such things as;
-single control arm/ strut vs. dual control arm
-engineering data availability on MA47 frame rail support of latteral loading if add upper control arm
-ride height engineering to maintain steering axis
-availability of MkIV engineering data on location (relative) and axis (plural) in order to properly graft the extra components....
you can see where this is going!
If I wanted to add *something* to the outer end of the MkI control arm, in order to upgrade the hub and brakes as well as spring and shock, got any better suggestions?
Current plan is this;
-source front-cut or replacement used parts, MkIV, balljoint with lower control arm, hub, rotor, caliper, balljoint with upper control arm
-locate and plan addition of upper control arm locations on the MkI frame
-graft lower balljoint section of MkIV lower arm to existing MkI lower arm (with strut rod)
-possible: make "slotted" or other adjustable upper mounts for primary camber settings
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller....?
