If you take some measurements I think you would have to notch body so it would drop down, just at corner of box. Paul would do what ever the customer wanted. I wanted polished stainless A arms so he did it for me and soon everyone wanted that. I wanted dry sump so he had to make one of frame tube's removable, one by front of engine passenger side. Complete engine and transmission will come out with
oil pump attached when that piece of frame is unbolted and removed, ask me how I know. One car had Halibrand quick change rear end. Had to make engine mounts for motor customer was going to use. Had to change drop out transmission frame to fit choice of transmission. Some one wanted drop out battery box so he did it and it looks like someone liked it so he put it on the car you have. Yes I miss Paul.
