Here's a shot at the shaft to header clearance after I moved the column over and replaced the rag joint.

Not a huge difference, but at least a 1/4" clearance now.

Hey:
You can also change your whole rack to the newer 00-02 ws6/f41 rack
with steering shaft. no welding just alot of time getting all lined back up, so the wheel still in the center.

You can find them as cheap as a rag eliminator and new ujoint and you would have a newer rack and maybe better ratio.

Just another option.
