Folks on the HAMB have used cowl mounted boxes like the old race cars used to use. Some folks just shorten the pitman arm a bit and use a dropped hairpin type steering arm on the spindle. This levels things out a lot without going to crazy with modifications. It works OK.

You just want to make sure the car turns the same way as the steering wheel. A right hand drive worm might work but it sounds risky to me. One way will be a little low and the other way likely too high for good geometry.
