Getting a driveshaft made shorter is usually cheaper, because to get one legthened they cut off the ends and install a new tube and to shorten they still use all of the original shaft just cut the tube shorter. Hope this helps

you might not have to shorten it at all theres enough companies that make motor mounts that are adjustable. before i started my conversion every single person i talked to said id have to get the drivesahft shortened and i proved all of them wrong. the only thing i did to the driveshaft was to put in some beefier u joints http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif
