Interesting. 
So, on that generation it looks possible. But, in reality you would need to use a good alignment, probably frame rack and a means ( I can think of several) to simulate cornering loads. Then you would have to move the pivot point and find the best placement. 
   All that for running road rallys where you are supposed to be following posted speeds anyway! Plus you have already found the car to handle well for your needs. 

   If it ain't broke...

Umm. have you ever looked at the Nash-design front suspension? It is exactly
that. Here's a good pic of them sitting on the ground waiting to go in the
car:

It never occurred to me to think about moving the pivot. Not that will think
about it now either :-)
