Moving ngine position on 4wd

[tjsblazer]

Hey, I have been gathering parts to do a driveline swap to a 5spd. I had planned on moving the Engine ahead to the front holes (about 3 inches) to help with the overall driveline length and shifter position of the NV4500. I know that is where 2wd Engine crossmembers mounted from the factory. I am noticing now that the front differential is going to be very close now (probably why 4wd were set further back). All the threads I can find look like the trucks had lifts in them when they moved the Engine forward. I am planning on doing it with stock ride height. Has anyone else moved the engine forward to the 2wd mounting position on a 4wd truck with stock ride height?
