That is exactly my point. 
Of those cars none are 3800 lbs. all are under 3000 lbs. most have a race weight which was under 2300 lbs.
The other problem is exactly as you stated you have to design the whole car around the spindle itself and from what I remembered the spindle height is not ideally suited for a car made to handle.
True functioning spindle height is from upper ball joint center to lower ball joint center. Those ball joints aren't Pinto Mustang II items. The ball joints can be choosen in the design to manipulate the height.
That spindle is also a Mustang II spindle that had an optional 302 V-8 weighted down with stuff and 70's shnizzle (Mustang Ghia). Not quite a Pinto. I don't think that it uses a Ford part numbered spindle anyway. The aftermaket makes them and I'm pretty sure they are beefed up some.
