if you can find a donor car withtrack and front end design very similar to yours, and you transplant the whole rack and cross-member over, and maintain the strut position and geometry fromt he original car, there is no reason it would not work.
problme is that is not so easy to find, and many little things will get in the way.
the main problem people have with putting in racks, is that the rack was designed for different width between suspension pivot points, and alingment of rack vertically and front to back of car, and differetn length steering arms. all of which result in bad bumpsteer characteristics.
you'll also need to think about mounting the column, which will need solid top and bottom mounting, as the steering linkages between column and rack are 'free'
keep looking into it. rack is good
