Tried out the head as suggested and it's very... okay. It would need to have the top eye rail chopped off but it isn't that far off. However the rest of the head feels like the rest of the head would still require a LOT of fabricating stuff from scratch. So not sure this get's me much closer.
I'm gonna sleep on this and see if anything else comes to me, at minimum I have learned a little more about what does and doesn't work.
