OK. I'm sold. Thanks guys. I was planning to have it balanced by a shop afterward anyway (I'm not "totally" loopy - ).
Hopefully I'll have the drive train initially installed by tomorrow. And the drive shaft to shop on Monday (if it's open).
Dan: The measurement I threw out there had come from one of your write-ups from a long time ago. Having an exact number really doesn't matter "unless" I use a shop to assemble the shaft. Otherwise, I'd just cut-to-fit and weld her up myself. So now (deciding to use a shop) I'll have to be extra careful with lay-up, because these components are getting hard to find; especially the Toyota shaft.
Thanks again. A good "reality-check" conversation.
