Default Steering parts question

I am currently working on a 65 that was a 6 banger with manual steering. It has been converted to disc brakes and 5 lug. I need to replace all the tie rods and there is currently a combo of what looks like really small tie rods for the inners and then larger ones for the outer.

If i go ahead and replace everything with 8cyl. parts, including a new drag link and idler arm, will the stock steering box that is there work? im not sure if the hole in the pitman arm is the same for the 8 and the 6 cyl.

I am thinking about picking up this kit

is this the best way to go?

Exactly what is needed----But which spindles are you using??

If C5DA, then the stock 336R outer will work, If C6OA, the stock outers won't work. On and on.

Another Question, Why pay that much??????
