The general consensus is to keep the standard torsion bars at the front but control the movement with poly bushes and Bilstein (preferred) or Koni Red dampers. Go with the Chapman principle of "soft springing stiff damping".
With regard to heim rod ends use M14 Teflon lined and it may be worthwhile adding boots if it is really dusty. Use M14 12.9 bolts with a plain shank - length cut to suit. Ream out the tapered hole to suit the shank.
I used the original tie rod threaded ends sweated and welded into a new 1/2"x1/8" CHS. It now looks about the right size.
