Hmmm I dont know how you've got it so close to the bulkhead! When I did my 1600 conversion, the whole engine and gearbox was further away from the transfer case if anything!
I now have to run a spacer on the end of the intermediate prop

Think scottie has pointed out my problem, the centre of the oil filter is about 3 inches higher than the chassis lol
