Revisited the problem today and noticed I that if I remake the trans mount I have at least .375" I could move the trans mount up, lowering the Tcase which should solve that problem. If it doesn't I'll probably have to add some more holes to the clocking ring to drop the front output down.
One thing I can say is putting the engine/trans/t-case in as one unit is the way to go.1989 GW/91.5 Dodge W250 CTD flatbed/ 06 Ford Crown Vic Police Intercepter/05 Jeep Liberty Diesel.

Should be plenty of room for the shifters. I did find that the powertrain is now at 7 degrees, I'd planned for 6 degree, room for improvement.
EDIT: It took a .5" shim to bring the tilt down to 6 degrees. At least now I can adjust up or down if need be.
Exhaust is where I estimated. The extra hole to the left is from one of the previous owners. What was it for, have no idea.

Have the fuel tank in temporarily, it fits. It's from:
Blazer (Full Size): 1982-86 25 gallon
Blazer (Full SIze): 1987 25 gallon, diesel
Jimmy (Full Size): 1982-86 25 gallon
Jimmy (Full Size): 1987 25 gallon, diesel
Suburban: 1982-86 25 gallon
Suburban: 1987 diesel, 25 gallon
Had to add 1 inch spacers for clearance for the filler.

Have the 25 gal tank hanging on it's own. Had to drill the holes on the passenger side for the straps, the Drivers side had them in the right place. Will have to relocate the brake line for the rear axle, used that hole for the strap.
And yes there is room to remove the shocks without removing any thing else.
And there is the optional 33 gal tank if you so choose, It's 12" deep instead of 9" for the 25 gal.
Mounts for the front of the tank
The rear strap mounts.

The sending unit (sufg12A) for the chevy tank has a ohm reading of 90-94 ohm full and 0-1.5 ohm empty. If I researched correctly the SJ has a full ohm of 100-115 ohm and 0-5 ohm empty. Close enough!

It's been too cold for me to work in the shop untill it heats up and that's around noon if the suns out. Thats why not much progress, unlike thoses who live in the NE and put on a snow suite and continure to work in the real cold.
Back to work, kind of. 2 weeks ago I put the wagon up on ramps so I could work underneath comfortably. Got the rear axle lowered onto the ramps and the garage jack let me down. It wouldn't jack up any more, unless I used all my strength to lock the valve. Can't complain it been in use for over 40 years.
Called the company that made the jack, no repair parts, too old. But found a hydraulic jack repair company and they had the kit. The kit arrived today, so its back to work, on the garage jack.Last edited by scout4bta; 01-23-2022, 06:28 AM.1989 GW/91.5 Dodge W250 CTD flatbed/ 06 Ford Crown Vic Police Intercepter/05 Jeep Liberty Diesel.

The floor jack is back in operation.
Next is to replace the 5/16" fuel line with 3/8" Cu Ni fuel line. Realized that the 4B has 3/8 line in and the new fuel tank has 3/8 line out, so why fight it? The return lines are all 1/4".1989 GW/91.5 Dodge W250 CTD flatbed/ 06 Ford Crown Vic Police Intercepter/05 Jeep Liberty Diesel.
