What I have designed (read as not yet built or tested) are a set of
brachets to move the rack mounts foreward (to front of car) about 1.5
inches on the plane of the old mounts.  Rotate the rack about 20deg (not
precise yet) down, to get the shaft under the rv8 style headers, and use a
Borgesson 5 inch offset steering box from the steering column with a
u-joint to a new steering shaft connecting the offset box to the rack
with another u-joint there.  Give this a look, like I said I haven't
built it yet, but I think that it is going to work.  BTW Borgesson does
nothing but custom steering components, I don't have contact info infront
of me but I'm sure if you searched on them on the net you could find them
