S5 turbo swap to a GSL_SE

Ok I have a 1992 S5 turbo II engine in a 1987 S4 chassis. I had to have a drive shaft made for this application. What I need to know if anyone knows if I swap this engine into my GSL-SE. Will the drive shaft work still work?

ahhh. I guess the drive shaft you had made was for turbo transmission to NA rear end? In that case no it won't work in a GSL-SE, it is the wrong length.

The length and diff flange will be wrong. I costs me a little over 200 to have a new one made with me supplying the front yoke.

Ditto....
I used a turned down, TII rearend yoke on my SE axle.Then had a shaft made to match the TII trans splines and yoke,but the 1st gen distance.Greasable replaceable Ujoints, roughly Mustang sized......... 'Bout 200 bucks.
