With help from Reaper and 74project I think I figured this steering linkage out! I moved the column down and to the left a couple of inches from the original hole. This actually squared up the column to the floor as well. It may have been out of square originally or got that way due to me centering the column between the gauges. This move gave me enough room to clear the motor, make the steering linkage work far better and also got more clearance from the brake pedal. I now have a bigass messy hole to fix in the floor, but that's just sheetmetal. You guys were a great help - thank you!!
