Garvino,
I recently dropped an engine into my car and have encountered the near identical situation you described. This car has not had an engine in it for 30 years. I am running 335/35/17s with the shock spacers still installed and have 5" of tire clearance to the fender lip-- even with the added weight of a Big Block. It is also high in the front.
Have you found a solution using the stock coils/shocks or did you end up with an aftermarket solution?
