HELP ! , Defender 90 rear prop length ?

Hi Can you please answer a question that is the last bit of the puzzle ( hopfully ! )

I have just finished stripping the chevy truck ready to start the build of my new project. I am using the 4L80e auto box and have been looking at using a lt230 transfer box but the cost of the conversion plate and they can't promise that it will fit as the 4l80e has a very long out put shaft to take the chevy transfer box.

So thinking it maybe easyer to keep the Borgwarner 4401 transfer box from the truck. My problem is that I wanted to put it all into a Defender 90,the rover V8 + R380 + lt230 is 1400mm long but the chevy + 4l80e + Borgwarner 4401 transfer box is 1700mm long .

So the question is how long is a 90 rear prop and what the shortest you could go to ?

many thanks Simon

better off moving engine forward or a zf gearbox and ftc5090

I have the engine,gearbox and transferbox already and only covered 18,000 miles ! just trying the best way to fit it in, been looking into 100" chassis to.

You could go double cardan route-but your just shifting issue.

how about shifting it forward

Havent looked into that side of it , how far would it be possible to shift it forward ?

Slim line radiator and it may be okay-out with tape measure. as bulkhead shape another issue

Also unless output shaft is cold nitrogen hardened it should be possible to cut it down.
