Found a rack from a 92 festiva. Stroke is 5" and front end weight says 1465lbs on the door tag.Should work great on the T coupe. My steering arms are longer than the festiva and move 4 1/2" lock to lock.Looks like it should be a good candidate to shorten and mount under the frame.At full lock right turn the outer end of the rack on drivers side will easily clear the radius rod.I think I found a winner.

Nice! I hope you'll share some pics as you work through the details.
