Mustang II frontend question

[52barnfind]

Hi, This is my first post so forgive me if I am doing this wrong. Any way, I have a 1952 3100 that I am doing a MII front crossmember on. I bought the complete kit from cpp. with power rack. I have everything tacked in place and have ran into a problem. When I install the rack the input shaft is so close to the crossmember that I cant fit the universal joint for the steering shaft. Has anyone had to notch the crossmember for this, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot for any help!
