Default Front suspension question for original frame

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tK0...4J77rfEaG/view

I'm building a Cobra frame and I have been trying find info for Cobra control arms and hub specs.
The upper and lower pivots aren't offset from each other like a Mustang 2. When I look at Factory Five suspension I see the lower pivot points are on top of the 4" frame tube. Isn't this a little high? My other frame used Mustang components and it worked fine but the pivot points were lower.
Would anyone know the specs for arms and hub to fit this style of frame. Photos would really help too. The frame drawings I've been using were gifted to a fellow member. What a guy! Unfortunately I've lost Lost his contact info.

It would be helpful to know which set of plans you are using, as there are several out there. Some are closer to original spec, while others are designed for a later Ford (mustang related) suspension set up.

Drawing comes from a set consisting of ninepages.
Definitely not made for Mustang 2 suspension.
