That depends on the steering arm design. I'm not sure what Marcus really did on his, other than the tie rods have been dropped quite a bit to work with G-body drag link. In terms of bumpsteer, your tie rods are too long as is (relative to UCA/LCA), but since you'll probably need longer UCA to make up for KPI difference, it may work out better.
Unless tie rod holes are kicked out towards the rotors, chances are Ackermann angle will be reduced. This, I'm assuming based on what you said about tall spindles (ie, larger turning radius therefore longer steering arms), and Marcus' steering arms are pretty short. If my assumptions are correct, turning radius should be better than tall spindle conversion. It will also make the overall steering ratio quicker, which you probably want.
As far as UBJ goes, go to Marcus' web site and see what he did. You'll have to do something similar. Otherwise the knuckles are too tall and you'll have super short FVSA and super high RC.

The first step of becoming a better driver is to attend a track event, time yourself, and realize the fact you really suck.
