Zac,
If you want your frontend to be lower than 320 mm then you need a xmember with the
highest attachment points for the lower control arms to keep the angles above the
horizontal, which basically means your after a pre mid '69. Trouble is I've found
that these days for one thing and another, thefrontends of 1600's have just about
all been modified by one owner or the other for goodness knows what reason. There
is always bumper spacers i spose as a last resort.
