There is room in front, but not as much as it appears. As it is a standard straight front anti-roll bar will not fit because it would have to go through the front pulley. So either the ARB has to move forward with spacers, or I have to have one made with a bend in it.

Suggested under the assumption that you'll be in/around there again soon enough after its first competitive run anyway...
The issue is I'm not even sure what will work. The clutch / flywheel assembly thickness from the crankshaft to the clutch fingers is a critical distance. It needs to be within a certain range to work. If this was an off-the-shelf install it would be no problem but because of the mismatched transmission and engine it's trickier.
