Boss 351,

You don't mention what engine/trans. combo you are changing to (not that it should matter much on offset) however, I have a big block and just changed my trans from a toploader to a Tremec. I didn't need to change my driveshaft because I had my Tremec input shaft machined (shortened) to eliminate using an adapter (available from Forte and Modern Driveline). I did have to make a new trans mount.
Now, with that said, I can measure my driveshaft, but I'm sure that it is longer than 6" (probably 8"- 9" U-Joint-U-Joint). As for being offset by 2", that sounds like alot ( are you talking lateral or vertical offset? . I can put my car in the air and measure if that would help you out.

Let me know,
Mike
