Default modified engine mounts/ lower arms?

hello all,
i have a fiesta st 2005 which hasd been converted to having a 2.5 focus st engine and box, i have bought it as a nearly but not quite finished project however the lower arms have been welded to be extended was wondering if anyone on here makes or is aware of anyone i can ask about geting me a price to make these up??

the car also only sits about 10cm max off of the floor and this is before coilovers are fitted, the car doesnt handle to well at moment and due to the power the car has i wish to improve the handling and only idea i can think of is getting different engine mounts or making up a bracket to raise the engine about 5cm's.

any help ideas appreciated

Yes due to the weight of the engine assuming you still have the standard suspension, I am surprised it even fits!

Will be interesting to see though, has to be one of a kind!

well has focus st shocks etc but engine is a tight fit however i do feel need to make the most of the free space between engine and bonnet and allow that extra bit of clearance under car for when get to the stage to order coilovers, its a project that someone has made a good job of starting but now needs finishing touches to make it better and thats where i come in but am new to this as have allways bought a car that needs nothing more than a remap so this is a little different to this. and yes is rare thats one of the reasons why i want to make it to the best it can and thought you guys on here the best people for guidance
