Rodenstock and Schneider both make Helicoids with distance and DOF scales for each of their lenses in 0 shutter. They mount to Linhof Kardan boards with a 3 hole.
If you need added extension you would have to either have cones made - expensive, or use Wista Extension Sets. To use the Wista Extension Sets you would also need a Linhof Kardan to Technika adapter board.
Now. How do you plan tio view the scene? Ground glass or with a view finder? If with a view finder then you would have to use the front standard of the Kardan as that has an accessory shoe on it.
Using these standards you would have 3.3" of rise that can be exteded to 6.6" with an accessory. 5.5" of shift, 360° of swing and 75° of center tilt.
The only thing you would have to "make" is a plate to accept a grip. The Linhof Anatomical Grip comes with a plate with 2 mounting holes in it along with 2 screws. You could just drill and tap 2 holes to mount this plate. The Grip slides onto the plate.
