By looking at the length of the motor mounts, it's obvious the front of the frame is way to low, as Jerry said. Any kind of 'band-aid' fix is going to leave a front end with terrible geometry problems and a car that will bottom out-with potentially lethal results!
Jerry's right, only way to salvage the thing is to get the frame rails at a height equal to the crankshaft centerline, then start on where the front end should be mounted.
Maybe not what you wanted to hear, Bearcamp. But it's the only way to salvage a very poorly designed chassis.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
