James...I moved the engine cradle forward about an 1 7/8 inches. The motor set in the cradle fine with good clearance...except on the pan. I had to trim the bottom of the cradle some to give some clearance. My Burb had the same running gear as yours, and when I moved the cradle forward, everything bolted up great. No mods to drive-shafts or t-case cross member. Anything I can do to help, just ask.
