I would tack weld a 1 inch thick piece of steel to the floor above pinion snubber and see how it works 1 3/4 way to much room
Did a pre assembled of my axle housing today to get the pinion angle, and center the axle in the car. So the leaf spring purch can get welded to the housing.
cleaning up the nut for the "axle to housing" and notice some think i have not noticed before. the nuts on the right side were normal but the ones on the left side had a tiny hole drilled in the nuts with plastic injected into them.
Not that it matter, just something i have never noticed before.

Those lug nuts don't like rite. Have not seen a pic of your rims
Probably the same reason they used left hand lugnuts on one side.
You don't need to cut up your car to get traction . Not any more . We just came back from testing '66 Cuda with 9x28" Radials . 10.65 sec @ 122.63 with a 150ft wheels up launch @3200lbs.
Great job !! Congratulationsleaf spring Perches weld, back brace welded and a fresh coat of black paint
