can change the rear drop outs to a larger plate and move the rear wheel slot up, but that will change the neck angle, then you may have to de rake it to get it all back into specs.
changing the rake angle is no big for a pedal bike, just kinda makes it harder to turn, or twitchy to ride depending on which way ya go, but when you add a motor to the mix, gotta make sure it handles well.

what kind of engine you going to use?
you can also simply cut out the lower frame rail and move it lower with a big bend in it to get the engine lower in the frame. it will retain stock ride height, with a reduced center of gravity.

You can also consult Norm from Venicemotorbikes. He is somewhere on this forum.
