High nitro gave me his measurement of his drive shaft. Should be the same as long as I extend the engine mount 20mm. Next question would be if there is a difference in length of the pinion housing on the axle. (8?-83 vs 84-85vs gslse?)

I got my TII driveshaft from a company in texas called thrash-driveshaft. I think they may be called "the driveshaft shop" now though. They had both thr slip yoke and the pinion flange in stock. They told me how to measure it, it took about 2 weeks till it was at my door, and it was under $300. Highly recommend them.

Tail shaft seal to flange on the diff. I measured mine quite a few times as I was wary. I did tell Mazdatrix that I have an s4 t2 trans with an SE diff/rear end. Theoretically, the driveshaft should be the same length as an SE shaft but with the t2 yoke. I couldn't get a firm number on the length of a stock SE shaft.

This is a pretty common way to go. However, I have a drivetrain shop just 15min down the road and I'm tempted to have them build me a complete custom driveshaft for only about $50 more. I believe they use Ford U-Joint sizes but I'm not sure - have to search some more.
