Ok. I looked at it and looked at it measured and measured. I moved the engine up about .750 and the rack down about .625 and I was able to move the rack back. Now it is straight across with the steering arms and level with the steering arms. Now I have to mock the rest of it up and see if it works.

The inner tie rods are 2" below the LCA pivot point but they are dead on in line




You would be better off to move the rack forward
and move it up the 2". With the rack 2" lower as you
go into jounce it will make you go toe out. If the
tie rods angle rearward its not TOO bad as long as
you can get a good turning radius, the one thing that
occurs is the 2 tires turn at a different rate, not
all that bad on a drag car but would wear tires on
a street car. But on a drag car as soon as you let
off the gas on the top end the car noses over and the
toe would go outward... not good. Since your moving
the steering arm, lower it, more to match up with the rack
EDIT
I just re read your post and see you said LCA pivot,
the closer you get to that pivot point the less
toe change you see... or you make the tie rod the
same length as the LCA and move the inner tie rod
pivot
but you will see a slight different radius between
the two
