As I mentioned above, I’ve got the w201 front shaft and 260e rear shaft. I’d kind of think that would be a factory option for you too.

I did, I actually ordered a 140.033 front shaft off eBay. It's a bit too short, and has a 4" bolt circle flex disk. I have a manual transmission driveline from a w124 260E that is the correct length, but it has a 3" bolt circle flex disk, and a much smaller slip yoke in the middle. I have a 3.6 to put into this car, so I decided not to swap out my trans and diff flange just to break the driveline. I'm going to get my original driveline with the 3.5" bolt circle flex disk extended 2.25 inches. This has been the most frustrating part of this swap. I wish I would have just bit the bullet and had it done to begin with.
