Cummins-Ford Mounts - Fore/Aft adjustment?

Cummins-Ford Mounts - Fore/Aft adjustment?
So there are several suppliers of mount kits to put a Cummins engine into a Ford chassis.
Destroked
Ford-Cummins
Diesel Conversion Specialists
AutoWorld
I'm sure there are more. These are just the ones I came up with most recently in my searches.
Do any of these mounts have a fore/aft adjustment in them?
Reason I'm wondering is because I still haven't decided on what transmission I'm using...
Truck will originally be a Ford 6.8L V10 Excursion, so it'll come with a 4R100.
I could also get a Ford 5R110, I assume it's about the same length or that the chassis will have different mounts for that.
However, I may have better luck with a Dodge 47 or 48RE.
I'd really like to put in an Allison 1000, but I'm not sure what I'd have to do to get it to work as far as electronics go.
I know there will be differences in the lengths of the transmissions. I know I won't have a whole lot of room to move the transfer case back and forth until I have to make custom driveshafts. (I want to avoid making custom driveshafts if I can.)
I'm starting to buy the parts for my swap and don't want to get the wrong mounts.

Ford Cummins and Diesel Conversion Specialists are one in the same located in Kalispell, MT. Auto World in Great Falls, MT uses a lot of Destroked's parts. They have good stuff.
Destroked is good to work with.
I like the looks of Auto World's mounts the best. The guys at Auto World are very knowledgeable. When I was there a month ago, they had a $38,000 5.9 Common Rail sitting on the floor out of the owner's wife's dragster.
