It would be interesting to see a photo of the OP's frame. The engine & trans with pedals looks to be model A but the frame might be missing the side tabs for the front body mounts or it could have other modifications. Even removing the rest of the front floor boards would help. The body has to set up on the blocks as well as the splash shields and the webbing between the shields and the frame. Others mention too low and maybe too far aft and I tend to agree about that. The throttle bell crank is bolted to the back of the engine and clutch housing so it needs to clear the firewall to function properly.
