Wont changing the height of the motor also change how your headers and sidepipes fit the body/frame, also the relationship of the trans output shaft to the pinion centerline. Isn't this stuff all figured in when you buy a kit from a manufacturer, and changing anything affects much more? I built my own thinking I would bypass engineering problems associated with kits, of course thats when I was real smart. After learning the definition of real smart and 6 more years to finish I have to have some faith in kits. Although the engine looks high in the chassis I wouldn't change anything until you test fit the body. Looks can be decieving, close but decieving....Good luck
