Need to move engine forward from the stock 4wd position. Will move approximately 3.5 inches forward to clear the longer 700r4 and spacer. Suburban is stock height.

Any issues with the engine crossmember mount and front differential? Perhaps a low profile ORD mount would be better? Clearance looks tight if the suspension is at full compression.

I guess I could move the 205 rearward but I would like to pull the engine away from the firewall. I'd rather not split the difference... seems like twice the work.

Thanks.
