Engine is 1/4 inch aft on the driver's side. Is that worth cutting out mounts and realigning? Driveshaft ujoints able to handle 1/4 inch. Please advise

Totally fine.
 
Typically, engines are mounted a hair to the pass side to allow for steering linkages. What type of steering are you going to do? Saginaw, scout,60, ??

60 box with stock Cummins power steering pump. Will eventually do hydro assist. Also planning hydro brakes
 
Decided I didn't like how high and aft the engine was, redid the mounts and measured a bunch before burning the mounts in

Trying to decide if I should mod dodge tranny mount, or start from scratch? Leaning towards existing until I get body on it and try and build the rear traction bar. Thoughts?

Pretty happy with the height of the tranny. Was trying for level with frame rails, but with cummins I would rather give up some clearance than roll.

Any thoughts to make the wheel well longer?
 
Got atlas mocked up. Not sure on how much to clock it so went with middle option for now

Hopefully I will have enough clearance for front drive shaft. It looks tight, but I think it will be fine with a thin driveshaft
