This is what I've come up with for DS length and cross member modification. Lucky (or unlucky) enough to have an extra 65E laying around. Everything I've found on the net says the 60E should be 21.75 long. I've measured mine 3 times at 22 3/8.
Need to move the crossmember mount back about 2.5 inches. The DS shortened about 1.75 inches.

Hard parts are coming. Hope it doesn't go to crap from there 
Ordered more parts yesterday, shift kit, trans lines, dip stick tube, shifter bracket, and bell housing cover. Breeze was kind enough to send me his old cross member. Dealer couldn't find the heat shield in their system. They're looking into that.
Hope to start modding the cross member this weekend.

when i get mine done we might can get the mods to sticky them together that way it will fully cover the 4 wheel and 2 wheel drive swap and then the wiring thread together wouldnt that be great.

Ordered these parts from the dealer Monday. Most arrived today. Still a couple out. Unknow if they work installed but look right.
15809057 Hose - part of the trans cooler lines
15812029 Pipe - trans cooler hard line
15267484 Pipe - trans cooler hard line
15765623 Cover - bellhousing
15013290 Bracket - shifter cable
15832205 Tube - dip stick tube
15183801 Indicator - dip stick
15860239 Bracket - heat shield / exhaust hanger passenger side
Total $267.98 with tax.
I crawled under a couple trucks to check this. The transmission has tapped holes for 3 bolts on center connection but the pans don't have the holes in them... must have been some cost saving idea?

Trans 1073
Transgo 110
Transfer case input 114
Dip Stick and tube
Shifter bracket
Bell Housing Cover
Trans Lines 268
I have the stock converter and could start the swap as soon as I get the transgo in. Getting a PI converter. Prolly about $1000 with shipping. Maybe $40 bucks for fluid. $20 for filter and gasket. I'll also have to fill up the transfer case with the expensive GM stuff. No idea what I'm going to do for the drive shafts.... yet.
