At the time of that pic it was stock mounts,it now has DIY mounts which are stock height. The case is clocked up,and that is a 1ton pickup frame,so it`s deeper than a halfton frame.

i run an 84 toyota pickup. i took a sawza to the floor board and then i just put a jack under the transfercase and started pumping that handle and made a crossmember out of c-channel and then took some thick sheet metal and bend the ends so that you can bolt it to the side of the frame (removable). i didnt have to change the motor mounts but i did have to trim the fan shroud as this pushes the fan into the shroud. o i also had to run a double cardin rear driveshaft to eliminate the aweful vibration. best of luck. let us know how it goes.

I'd guess 2 to 3 inches.
