I cannot use this driveshaft because it is not long enough with the TH350 I will now be using. I need to get one made about 6" longer.

My question I guess is for anybody who has run a full size Chevy with a TH350 "short" tailshaft is there an issue with running such a long driveshaft ? This is a 396/325 car , highest RPM around 6700
Any info/input would be appreciated.
