I'm going to say that's beyond my willingness to invest in the car but your point is well taken on the swap. I'd disagree on the "no jigs required" part but that's a minor point in the scale of the work involved.
I'm not really doing this to make money, more as a hedge if I'm ever in financial straights that I can no longer afford this hobby so need to sell it. More value in a solid and restorable Riviera than a fully customized one with how far I can take it.
Oh I'm taking it far beyond just spindles, new control arms, revised upper mount angles, a mono-ball type strut rod, widened track with more modern king pin angles and scrub radius. Ultimately the spindle is the least adjustable part of the system as the rest is largely adjustable swaged rods and the like so I'm looking at optimizing the construction process with what can I buy off of the shelf towards that goal as just a reamer for the balljoints and tierod ends is about the same as a pair of the upper mounts. The rear is going to be Nissan/Infinity Q45 IRS that I'm about to pull as it's self contained with only 4 mounting points and the links are available in adjustable units as they are shared with pretty much the rest of the Nissan RWD lineup such as the Z, 240SX, and even the Skyline in various forms.
Have you taken a look at the Ford Crown Vic front suspension?
