67 Fastback - Project Dalamar

And, THIS is a problem.

A couple of thoughts: two of the things I did not like about this front end when it was on my car were steering shaft interference and the motor being too far forward. I ended up moving the engine a little to the side to allow my steering shaft to fit, but I was a lot closer than you appear to be.

Looks like there is a ton of room to go back, but the front sump on that oil pan would interfere with the rack. you could modify the oil pan. I think there is some room to cut out of the front sump especially if you don't have a high volume oil pump (not sure if you do or not). this might allow the engine to clear the rack with a minimal increase in mounting height. I have seen griggs do this. If you can get that engine back almost up against the firewall, you may be able to get the steering shaft around the front of the header with the use of an extra joint. You would also benefit from a better weight distribution. Just throwing out ideas here, not sure how well this will work.
