When doing the 700r4 swap without the aluminum 'block' type adapter you either have to move the engine forward 1 3/4" or the transfer case back 1 3/4". Keep that in mind, when you add the aluminum adapter you will be increasing the amount that you are moving everything.
I am not sure how thick those adapter were, but they looked like at least 1", so you may still have room but I think you may have problems with the oil pan if you move the engine ahead that far. I am sure someone on here can clear this up for us.
