I don't think I would recommend it. If it were a drag only car, you could probably get an alignment that would allow it to track straight in the 1/4, but for going around corners, probably not a good idea.

By moving the top of the strut outward you are really going to limit the static camber and really limit the camber gain in bump, which is an issue with the Fox Mustang strut style suspension anyway.

If you run a coilover (which I assume you would be) you should have some room to leave the upper mount in the same location and just make the shock tower much smaller as you don't need all of the room for the larger coil spring of the stock suspension. I don't know if that would give you enough room.

Beyond that, I can only suggest a big cube Windsor motor as it may fit better????

Good luck and keep us posted.
