The length of the drive shaft is not my only problem. I have also changed engine combinations and the new engine will put out 100+ more hp and the shaft is only a 3 1/4" dia shaft. Nobody I have talked to recommends it for my application that I have now. This is the reason behind my switch from wanting to shorten it to just replacement. If the car was lighter I could get away with it. Everyones comments tell me that they were simply full of it though.
I must have misunderstood the question.What is the issue of application?I see many big tire,hi hp cars running a similar 3-1/2 aluminum shaft even a few at #3400?We also have many heavy duty,hi torque trucks in our construction fleet with aluminum and aluminum/composite shafts.

Who did you talk to at MW? Travis is always a big help to me over there.... I am surprised that's what they told you, but they also may not like the 3 1/4" shaft. Everything we use from them in AL is 4". Just a thought
Ben,
It might have been Travis that I spoke to. I hadn't even mentioned that the shaft was 3 1/4" dia. before he told me that they can't shorten it. Nobody that I called recommended a driveshaft smaller than 3 1/2" and about half of them suggested 4". I want as small as possible though since I have little space in the tunnel with my tubular driveshaft loop.
