how do you go about changing a link pin front end to a ball joint one?
does the beam only need to be modified or does the framehead need to be changed?

Why on earth would you want to do that. Ball joint fronts suck eggs.

Link pin is good for a "by the book" resto, but if you want a better ride and some camber ajustability ball joints are the frogs bollocks, so how hard is it to replace the whole head?

cut the link pin one off, weld a balljoint one on, make sure you measure it up accurately and it gets welded on square.

No alignment or strength problems and hey, you need to find another donor chassis anyway...
