Steering Linkage on a Budget

Steering Linkage on a Budget
I am converting the wife's 66 Mustang from a 6 to a V8, and I am in need of steering linkage parts (center link, inner tie rod ends, Pitman arm, idler arm). Where is the best place to buy on a real tight budget? The local auto parts store doesn't have much.
also, not having looked at the V8 steering linkage, I don't know what it looks like. Is the Pitman arm a wear item? How about the center link? Anyone have pictures?
Thanks,

I guess I'll just have to hit the wrecking yard and find out for myself.

The problem with building a V8 car from a 6 cyl car on a tight budget is that the car ends up being a car built on a tight budget. I've never been the guy who throws money at a project, but, if spending money is required to do it right and safe, then I spend the money. Buy the suspension components from Chock. He knows what you need and is not the most expensive by a long shot. You and your car will benefit in the long run.
