Move the front motor mount cross member forward to the next hole found on the drivers side. You'll have to drill the frame on the right (this is a good time to upgrade to 7/16 bolts) This places the engine in about the 2wd position. So for ease, you'll need a 2wd fan shroud, 2wd upper and lower radiator hoses and a 2wd throttle cable. Underneath at the trans-- drill holes where needed. You'll have to modify the floor pan for the 4wd shifter

Forgot also that there will need to be a little fabrication on the automatic linkage to the trans. The pivot will have to be modified moving it closer to the leaf spring shackle. Been a couple years since I did a T400 in a K5
