Not true KL, that drive shaft in a straight 1:1 transmission is
gonna turn the same RPM as the engine is turning. In a stock
Stovebolt that's not much more than 3,000 rpm but if your hot
rodding it it's gonna see a lot more.
Besides the alignment challenge, you've got no way to balance
it.

I was talking in relative terms on RPM, thinking the OP was putting it behind a stock engine. A stovebolt and a high revving V8 are different animals for sure. Only with an OD tranny will the driveshaft turn faster than the engine.
