Well the would have to be specially made and welded right and it probably wouldnt be all that strong. Im not sure who I would have make them and it would be just more of a hastle because Then I would have to take the right header off again, I would have to rent the cherry picker for the 30th time and it would probably be more of a pain in the ***. If I would have had the motor out then that might have been a option to look down. Good idea otherwise though.

Have you considered gonig back to the factory k-member? The spohn mounts for the factory k-member do not have any issues whatsoever.

If I still had the old one, I might have considered it because I do have the conversion mounts because I bought the motor mounts and trans crossmember from fbody motor sports. I know I could get another one, but right now I want to get this project done with out have to unbolt that motor again. Not only that but I dont want to take steps back like going back to stock kmember and using stock steering when I can upgrade for with less work even if its more money because Im trying to do everything right. From what I hear the Rack and Pinon will be loads better than the Pitman and Idler arm setup.

If I am not mistaken there is a rack and pinion kit that works in conjuction with the stock k-member. Make sure you check you driveline angles once you get the steering situation resolved.
