Default AJE k-member and steering rack issue. Please Help!

Ok so this is my first Mustang Fox body LSX swap that I have doing with a buddy of mine. From the get go I told my buddy to buy a F-body oil pan but he decided to buy the LS conversion pan from GM performance. The issue i have ran into is that steering rack hits the oil pan when i attempt to install it. The car has an AJE k-member with AJE LS motor mounts, a flaming river manual steering rack (with offset bushings) and a LS conversion oil pan. the only thing I can imagen is wrong is the oil pan and that we need to run a F-body oil pan. Is anyone else running this set up and please let me know which oil pan you are runnning or if we are missing anything? Thanks

I do not have the flaming river, but with the conversion pan, mine hung down way too low for my liking. I am running the fbody pan now with a stock rack and it works just fine and everything clears.
