that's the only way I see that rack moving forward.
and even then, I don't remember it being required for the BB conversion... they have to hack the crossmember, sure, but I don't remember the rack moving.

Do I smell a blower pulley?
Cut that thing out, fabbing the metal pieces isnt hard. Even if yo had to pay someone to come over and weld them up for you its worth it.
Im going to buy you a phone one day.
Edit: Derr, didnt get past crossmember...Moving the rack, dont know whats involved.

Your steering will have bump steer and reverse ackerman if you move the rack.
