Thanks for the compliments. I'm hoping to wrap up most of the loose ends today and go for a drive.
As to mounting and positioning the engine. I think you could go 3" forward and clear the oil pan no problem. The 3" would also help the filter / drive shaft clearance. Right now the oil filter is directly above the yokes.
I did modify the trans cross member with new holes over about 1.25" to pass side at the beginning. But changed back to about 1/2" to passenger side. With the rear over to pass side it made the AC too close to the frame.
I think your plan sounds good. I will do some looking and measurements today with 3" in mind and see what it would do.
