Shocks and shock mounts?

Ok yet another question? So on this new build that I am working on I found out that my rear shocks off my old car will not work on this new build how do I figure what length shocks I will need? I have a mid engine type 1 swing axle transmission. The shocks I have now are only 13 inches from eye to eye and they are too short the axle almost touches the exhaust when I hold it up in a round about area where the shock mounts might go. Also I need to figure out where to mount the lower section there are no mounts for them as my old cars trailing arms were to short to use. Anyone have pictures or anything would be a great help. I was going to weld on shock mounts onto the bearing housings but I was informed that doing so would warp them.

I was looking at the fox 2.0 smooth series with reservoirs but not really sure if they are strong enough to hold the weight with out springs?

any other shock ideas would be awesome!
