On my swap, I only moved the engine forward about 1" and then heated the 4wd shifter with a torch and bent it forward to fit in the original floor board hole. Worked fine for me. I did not want to move the engine the full 2" forward. I preferred as much weight shifted to the back as possible. I also used the spacer between the transmission and the NP205 rather than installing a shorter output shaft in the 700R. I chose the spacer to give the front driveshaft additional clearance without hitting the tranny pan.
