Hello Mark,
If you have a view camera you have an enlarger.
Even Graflex made the Graflarger back to convert a Graflex press camera into an enlarger.

But it can be done with any format. I use an old MF projector to throw light at the back of a 8x10 CAMBO, I custom built a negative holder for it. With the projector it performs like a condenser type enlarger, speakng about contrast control.
A process lens would perform better in theory, but the Sironar N works perfect.
Very straight, put paper on the wall and the camera in the tripod. Ansel Adams' enlarger was mostly that.
Scanning it's also straight... A cheap Epson V850 is perfect for BW and LF. I use Ilford Lab Direct to print on silver. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in the tips to make the print match from what you see in the monitor, using soft proofing, and comparating previous calibration prints, anyway it's explained in the ilford lab direct web site.
Best Regards.
