Steering rack

I'm hoping someone here has an idea. I have the crown Vic front end on the 56 I'm building. And I'm attempting to put in a roush mustang motor out of an06 mustang. The crossmember is a little to high and so is the steering rack. I was gonna slit the crossmember but the steering rack will still be in the way. Any ideas? Please anything will help

Pics would help can you use a different oil pan ? I had a similar problem I made my engine & trans mounts using a 302 and the AOD that is going in the truck and left almost no room above the rack with intentions of modifying the oil pan a slight bit but didn't realize that the 302 pan does not fit on my stroked 351 proper pan is 2 " higher . I managed to lower my rack about 3/4" modified the pan about 3/4" and will raise the motor mounts the rest

I think Im gonna have to just rasie up the motor more than i thought. but thats going to mess with my exhaust and driveshaft so i will just have to do some fabrications on the frame and crossmembers.

Do the 4.6l and the 5.4l have the same mounts if so should there not be mounts that work with the crown vic front end
