The MK IV from FFR is based on a digitized scan of Dick Smith's #188 original 427 Cobra.
There is no front or rear subframe for that matter, just a main frame, then the "birdcage" attached to that frame, to support their Fiberglass body. The same concept is used for the original Cobra, as there must be a "birdcage" subframe to properly support the aluminum body attached to the main frame.
As a matter of engineering, the main frame and birdcage are as one unit, the aluminum body is then wrapped around and fitted/attached to that birdcage substructure.
