Not that I've started building yet, but also considering extending wheelbase so am following your build closely!
Can't you 'just' cut the uprights U1/U2 to fit, then modify the wishbone bracket postion(s) to match original spec/jig.
If you've extended the engine bay, and used standard front frame then won't the width between the side rails (TR1/2) be WIDER than book, thus U1/2 sitting inside the top rails (rather than outside as per your last pic?)
Also what affect do you imagine an increased wheelbase will have on steering geometry (ackerman etc) or will it be minimal & enough to ignore?
EDIT: Doh! Just beaten to it by Andy
