split the front uj and split the rear uj then join the front with the flange plate to the rear with the flange plate  thats what i do then ya still have a uj to take any stress out of ya drive coz if bolted direct  and not perfectly in line can snap gearbox

yes it can be done, assuming both diff and engine/g-box are all "solid mounted" (hardtailed) suggest having diff fixed on finished mounts then bolt g/box and engine to it then finally mount/fix engine and g-box in position. this way all parts have no option but to be in alignment as it will become all one solid unit. if in doubt use rubber donut as VB says.
