Perhaps I am missing something but there's no logic in cutting out the front of a super or any bug and substituting a heavy front engined suspension and steering that was designed as best it could to be located outside the line of the engine giving relatively heavy short bottom arms. If you are going to cut the front end out then surely long fabricated arms are the way to go, there is no more engineering to do than trying to fit in something that was design for a totally different application. Given a choice all suspension designers will be using suspension arms as long as possible. When did you last see a Formula race car with anything other than long front A arms?
