I already have a foam seat and I don't think I can do much about the tires. It was hard enough finding anything in the size I have.

That is after I replace my upper control arm this weekend and trim my bump stop perches.
Stock length shocks & relocating brackets is the route I've taken on trucks/cars I've been involved with. I do the math calcs I recommended above on the stock spec'd shocks to start & the opt for relocating the mounts if they don't fall within I want.

Based on the notes you provided, I think your fine on the sidewall height (tire sizing).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
