tubular lower control arms for coilovers

I was towing with this idea to try and move the rack forward in the car a bit by making a piece to bring the steering arm mounts forward but not change the turning radius or cause a bind.
My engine is about 7" back from stock so the rack is under the front 1/3rd of my pan. I can make a pan to fit but would like to move the rack about 3" forward. Not trying to hijack your thread Junior just spitting out ideas. There has got to be a way to change the steering to move the engine back
