Hi

I have a 429/460 style block and a t56 transmission. My driveshaft overall length was abut 12-13 inches, probably on the order of 5-6 inch tube. Dennys driveshaft made it - they said it was short, but it works.

On the suspension travel, yep that is an issue. I run the shocks in full dampen to lessen the travel. My pinion angle is not quite right, but the shaft needs to be angled so the suspension can travel. So it can be done,must don't get too hung up on driveshaft angles
