76 to 72 drivetrain swap

Hey guys I have a 1972 blazer and a 1976 jimmy. My plan is to swap the drivetrain, from engine to t-case, from the jimmy to the blazer. The engine is a 350, and the tranny is a sm465 with a np205 t-case. Are there any speed bumps to I need to know of before I dive into this? Thanks for any input

The only thing I would guess is the rear axle spring perches might be in the wrong location and shock mounts might be moved as well...

Probably will have to move the x-member under the tranny as well. I had to when I went from 3OTT to SM465.
