Default LQ4 swap into a 57 chevy truck

Mock fit before I pull trans and rebuild/2WD swap.
Looks like Im not too far back - still have a bit of room but about to hit rear fuel line/rail on drivers side.
See where engine mounts (current are though) in relation to IFS crossmember.

Thoughts ?

Thanks

I was checking them out on ebay last night .... but think it said something like

1/2" rear or up to 2 1/4 " forward.

Think I need further back (rear)

On the site

"Dingo Sliders will allow you to mount the engine in the original bell housing position, or move the engine forward up to 2 inches. May require using aftermarket oil pan."
