How far back can I mount transfer box

I am fitting a Range Rover V8 and ZF 4 HP22 auto box into my 1st gen and have worked out all the mounts etc but to couple the Toyota transfer box to the ZF auto box will put the transfer box back towards the rear axle by 6" . Will this cause propshaft problems with the increased angle on the rear propshaft ?
We dont have the same choice of engine options here in the UK to buy a Advance Adapator or other make so have to go with what we can
Any help on this before I abandon the project.

Seeing that installing a dual transfer case pushes the rear drive shaft flange back about 6.5", should not be an issue. Probably want to convert the rear shaft upper joint to a CV instead of a u-joint to help with the angle if you find you get vibrations. If not, run it as is.

Thanks for your help . I was going to use the top shift t/case but I will now use forward shift t/case I got so the shift will be more forward then changing between the rear passeger legs .
